长期以来,大学和学院一直忽视性骚扰,希望它不存在,或者等待它消失。然而,最近,学生、教授和大学管理人员已经开始认识到这个问题的危害性和普遍性,但到目前为止,很少有人注意到性骚扰对健康的危害。本研究基于对455名女大学本科生和研究生的问卷调查和9次后续深入访谈收集的数据,探讨了性骚扰对女性健康危害的维度和动态。研究发现,性骚扰对健康有直接和间接的影响,包括恶心和失眠、丧失自尊、恐惧和愤怒、无助和孤立的感觉,以及紧张和抑郁。这项研究为有关妇女的文化和社会决定的健康问题的文献作出了贡献,揭示了女学生的经济、政治、社会和个人福祉可能因性骚扰而受到损害的方式。
Universities and colleges have for a long time ignored sexual harassment, hoped it was non-existent or waited for it to disappear. Recently, however, students, professors and university administrators have begun to recognize the perniciousness and pervasiveness of the problem but thus far with little attention to sexual harassment as a health hazard. Based on data collected by questionnaire from 455 women university undergraduate and graduate students and nine follow-up in-depth interviews, this study examines the dimensions and dynamics of sexual harassment as a health hazard for women. Sexual harassment is found to have both direct and indirect health effects, including nausea and sleeplessness, loss of self-esteem, fear and anger, feelings of helplessness and isolation, as well as nervousness and depression. In contributing to the literature on women's culturally and socially determined health problems, this study sheds light on the ways in which women students' economic, political, social and personal well-being can be undermined by sexual harassment.
