我们探讨了男性和女性的潜在性骚扰男性行为的看法在两项研究中的个体差异，使用问卷设计。在第一项研究中，基于对本科生群体的看法，主成分分析支持两个独立维度的假设：不必要的性关注（例如触摸和亲吻）和性别骚扰（例如粗鲁和性别歧视的言论）。喜欢/不喜欢的老板因素的结果表明，男性和女性受访者认为这两种形式的性骚扰更严重的不喜欢的老板比喜欢的老板，但男性的性别骚扰的严重程度低于女性。在第二项研究中，基于在大学环境中工作的员工，男性再次对性别骚扰采取了更宽容的态度，但不是不必要的性关注;而且，与女性相比，男性认为性骚扰在工作场所不太常见。男性/女性受访者还根据三个级别的地位（老板、同事、下属）对严肃性进行了评级：在这两个维度上，对主角地位的严肃性评级顺序（同事<下属<老板）表明，行为在情境中的适当性很重要。这两项研究的结果表明，主观因素在将男性行为定为“性骚扰”方面发挥了影响作用。研究结果进行了讨论，在近层次归因理论和最终层次的进化理论。这些数据和理论的影响工作场所的干预措施进行了概述。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
We explored individual differences in males' and females' perceptions of potentially sexually harassing male behaviours in two studies, using a questionnaire design. In the first study, based on perceptions of an undergraduate population, principal components analysis supported the hypothesis of two independent dimensions: unwanted sexual attention (e.g. touching and kissing) and gender harassment (e.g. crude and sexist remarks). Results for the liked/disliked boss factor, indicated that male and female respondents rated both forms of sexual harassment as more serious by a disliked boss than by a liked boss; but males rated gender harassment as less serious than females. In the second study, based on employees working in a university setting, males once again took a more charitable view of gender harassment, but not unwanted sexual attention; and, compared with females, males believed sexual harassment to be less common in the workplace. Male/female respondents also rated seriousness in relation to three levels of status (boss, colleague, subordinate): across both dimensions, the order of rated seriousness for status of protagonist (col league < subordinate < boss) suggested that the appropriateness of the behaviour in terms of the situation was important. Results from both studies indicate that subjective factors play an influential role in the designation of male behaviour as 'sexually harassing'. Findings are discussed in terms of proximal-level attribution theory and ultimate-level evolutionary theory. Implications of these data and theories for workplace interventions are outlined.
