Perceptions of Sexual Harassment as a Function of Sex of Rater and Incident Form and Consequence.

Popovich, Paula M.; And Others

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v27 n11-12 p609-25 Dec 1992

Examined perceptions of verbal versus physical sexual harassment incidents and consequences among 99 male and 99 female white undergraduates. Found significant "consequence" and "sex" effects. Males rated verbal incidents less negatively than did females, especially when the statement described "physical" behavior with "hostile environment" consequences. (JB)
