在文职工作场所进行的研究记录了男子对妇女的性骚扰在心理、健康和工作方面造成的严重后果。最近有人提出了男性是否同样遭受性骚扰的问题(Berdahl,Magley,& Waldo,1996; Popovich,坎贝尔,埃弗顿,Mangan,& Godinho,1994; Vaux,1993; Waldo,Berdahl,& Fitzgerald,1998; Waldo & Magley,1996年),结果不仅就这种经历的后果的程度,而且就犯罪者的性别进行了相当大的辩论。这项研究利用美国国防部(1995年)最近的性别问题调查数据,直接比较了男性和女性性骚扰的结果。线性和二次回归分析的结果表明,在类似的经验范围内,性骚扰以类似的方式对男性和女性工作人员产生负面影响,对3组结果:心理,健康和工作相关。然而,出现了三个差异,表明男性和女性在性骚扰方面的经历不同。首先,女性比男性更容易受到性骚扰。第二,妇女遭受性骚扰的频率高于男子;因此,对妇女个人和妇女群体的负面影响要明显得多。最后,女性几乎总是经历过男性的性骚扰;男性比女性更有可能经历男性的性骚扰行为。
Research in the civilian workplace has documented the serious psychological, health-related, and job-related outcomes of sexual harassment of women by men. The question of whether men experience sexual harassment similarly has more recently been proposed (Berdahl, Magley, & Waldo, 1996; Popovich, Campbell, Everton, Mangan, & Godinho, 1994; Vaux, 1993; Waldo, Berdahl, & Fitzgerald, 1998; Waldo & Magley, 1996), resulting in considerable debate regarding not only the extent of the outcomes of such experiences but also the sex of the offender. This study directly compared outcomes of sexual harassment for men and women utilizing data from the U.S. Department of Defense's (1995) recent gender issues survey. The results of both linear and quadratic regression analyses indicate that within the range of similar experiences, sexual harassment exerts a negative effect on male and female personnel in similar ways on 3 sets of outcomes: psychological, health, and job-related. Three differences emerged, however, suggesting differential experiences of sexual harassment for men and women. First, women were more likely to have been sexually harassed than were men. Second, women experienced sexual harassment at higher frequencies than did men; the negative impact on women, both individually and as a group, is thus considerably more pronounced. Finally, women almost always experienced sexual harassment from men; men were somewhat more likely to experience such behaviors from men than from women.
