对大学生的性骚扰可能会导致更严重的性侵犯。很少有研究在相互竞争的理论观点框架内调查性骚扰的预测因素。在本研究中,通过研究(a)大学校园性骚扰的三种类型,(b)报告的性质,以及(c)日常活动和自我控制理论是否有效地解释了性骚扰,对文献进行了扩展。研究结果表明,样本中有四分之一的参与者受到过性骚扰,被侵犯的学生极不可能正式报告事件,而日常活动理论的测量是性骚扰的重要预测指标。预防和教育政策应侧重于增加向大学当局的报告,并帮助学生了解这些行为可能发生的情景背景。
Sexual harassment of college students may lead to more serious forms of sexual assault. Few studies have investigated sexual harassment predictors framed within competing theoretical perspectives. In this study, the literature is extended by examining (a) three types of sexual harassment on a college campus, (b) the nature of reporting, and (c) whether routine activities and self-control theories effectively explain sexual harassment. Findings indicate that one fourth of the participants in the sample were sexually harassed, assaulted students are extremely unlikely to officially report incidents, and measures of routine activities theory are important predictors of sexual harassment. Prevention and education policies should focus on increased reporting to university authorities and helping students understand the situational contexts in which these behaviors are likely to occur.
