这项流行病学研究的目的是勾勒出流行率 报告的可感知的性骚扰和非性骚扰经历 在种族和民族多元化的大学工作环境中的男女 并评估它们对饮酒、饮酒动机的影响 以及与酒精有关的问题。4000名女性和男性的样本 不同职业级别的大学员工(例如，教师、毕业生 研究和教学助理、行政和支持人员， 服务人员)，将在两个时间点通过自我报告进行调查 邮寄的调查问卷。指导这项研究的理论框架 将基于工作的骚扰经历描述为比 其他工作压力源，因为它们更有可能产生认知 涉及到自我指责的评价是个人的不足。假设为 测试解决了感知到的骚扰和与酒精有关的前驱问题 后果。中介变量或加性变量包括认知风格、 应对手段、社会支持、职业性饮酒规范和 童年遭受虐待的经历。多种多元统计方法 技术将被用来描绘各种途径，通过它 基于工作的骚扰与女性和男性相关并预测 与酒精相关的结果。研究的一个定性部分将是 探索和澄清骚扰的区别性质和后果 它与性骚扰有关，性骚扰的性质和范围更广 性爱领域。最终目标是解决预防工作- 基于骚扰和开发有效的应对技术来 积极对抗骚扰，而不是通过 滥用药物。

The objectives of this epidemiologic study are to delineate the prevalence of perceived sexual and non-sexual harassment experiences reported by women and men in a racially and ethnically diverse university work setting and to assess their impact on alcohol consumption, drinking motivations and alcohol-related problems. A sample of 4,000 female and male university employees across occupational levels (e.g., faculty, graduate research and teaching assistants, administrative and support staff, service workers), will be surveyed at two points in time with self-report mailed questionnaires. The theoretical framework guiding this study characterizes work-based harassment experiences as more pathogenic than other work stressors insofar as they are more likely to engender cognitive appraisals involving self blame an personal inadequacy. Hypotheses to be tested address both precursors of perceived harassment and alcohol-related consequences. Mediating or additive variables include cognitive style, coping repertoire, social support, occupational drinking norms and childhood abusive experiences. A variety of multivariate statistical techniques will be utilized to depict the various pathways through which work-based harassment correlates with and predicts female and male alcohol-related outcomes. A qualitative component of the research will explore and clarify the differential nature and consequences of harassment which is sexual from harassment which broader in nature and outside the sexual realm. A final goal is to address both the prevention of work- based harassment and the development of effective coping techniques to actively counter harassment in place of self medicating distress through substance abuse.
