The Double-Edged Power of Mentors: How Daily Feelings of Power Shape Mentees’ Experiences of Gender- and Race-Based Harm and Support
Power asymmetries shape everyday mistreatment in workplaces and academic training settings, yet little is known about how mentors' momentary feelings of power affect mentees' daily gender- and race-based experiences in real time. Drawing on power-approach and power-amplification theories, we propose that mentors' daily felt power simultaneously energizes sexy-powerful and responsibility-focused feelings and moral crediting beliefs that shape ment…
When “Good People” Sexually Harass: The Role of Power and Moral Licensing on Sexual Harassment Perceptions and Intentions
History has shown that people who embody responsibility-focused power have been credibly accused of sexual harassment. Drawing from power-approach and moral licensing theories, we present two complementary studies examining how responsibility-focused power triggers moral licensing, which, in turn, decreases perceptions of sexual harassment (Study 1) and increases intentions to engage in sexual harassment (Study 2). In Study 1, 365 participants re…

Guest editorial
High-profile sexual misconduct media triggers sex harassment recall and reinterpretation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore a possible effect of #MeToo media on individuals’ personal recall and reinterpretation of sex harassment (SH) experiences. The authors experimentally examine how exposure to high-profile stories of sexual misconduct triggers memories and reinterpretation of one’s own past SH experiences. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of 393 US adults, participants were randomly assigned to read one of f…
Dual effects of self-focused and other-focused power on sexual harassment intentions
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine two forms of power construal – self-focused and other-focused power – on effects of increasing or decreasing sex-based harassment (SBH) tendencies through feeling states triggered by imagining these different types of power. In addition, dispositional traits associated with either self- and other-focused power were tested as moderators of these paths. Design/methodology/approach An online experiment…

Situating Sexual Harassment in the Broader Context of Interpersonal Violence: Research, Theory, and Policy Implications
Although sexual harassment has been discussed as a form of interpersonal violence, little research has systematically examined both the empirical and theoretical links between sexual harassment and interpersonal violence. We review survey research data that establishes sexual harassment as a form of revictimization from earlier instances of interpersonal violence, such as child sexual abuse and intimate partner violence as well as ways that sexua…
Paradigmatic Assumptions of Disciplinary Research on Gender Disparities: The Case of Occupational Sex Segregation
Age Comparisons in Workplace Sexual Harassment Perceptions
Social, Attitudinal, and Demographic Correlates of Adolescent vs College-age Tobacco Use Initiation
This research has implications for tobacco control efforts aimed at reducing or preventing tobacco use on college campuses, such as restricting availability of tobacco products on campus and preventing smoking in all campus buildings including residence halls
Perceptions of the Sexual Harassment of Men
Rural Elementary Students', Parents', and Teachers' Perceptions of Bullying
Bullying behavior is prevalent in rural elementary schools and is indicative of aggression and proviolence attitudes. Parents and teachers need to pay closer attention to bullying behavior among schoolchildren and to impart their knowledge to children in a comprehensive, coordinated manner
The relationship between prior sexual abuse and reactions to sexual harrassment: Literature review and empirical study
The relationship between prior sexual abuse and reactions to sexual harrassment: Literature review and empirical study
This article examines whether individuals who have had prior sexual abuse experiences, including sexual harassment (SH) and child sexual abuse, are hypersensitive to potential SH-related stimuli or overreact to social sexual experiences. Some psychologists and legal scholars suggest that previous sexual abuse or exposure to violence against women produces altered perceptions of current interactions and situations in those women. The review of the…

The sexual harassment of men: Evidence for a broader theory of sexual harassment and sex discrimination
The article imposes a social science framework on a law-based theory of sexual harassment forwarded by Katherine Franke (1997), which sought to address shortcomings of extant theory and to account for atypical forms of sexual harassment, notably male same-sex sexual harassment (SSSH). Sex-role spillover theory, sexual harassment climate theory, and Person × Situation theory are discussed with regard to their ability to account for SSSH. Prelimina…

The Direct and Moderating Influences of Sexual-Harassment Pervasiveness, Coping Strategies, and Gender on Work-Related Outcomes
This study explores the direct and moderating influences of sexual-harassment (SH) pervasiveness, coping strategies, and gender on work-related consequences of sexual harassment among a national, representative sample of federal employees who had experienced some form of unwanted sexual attention ( N = 553 men and 1,782 women). Regression analysis revealed that, contrary to conventional wisdom, individuals who experienced frequent SH and who used…
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Perspectives, Frontiers, and Response Strategies
Persistence of Men's Misperceptions of Friendly Cues Across A Variety of Interpersonal Encounters
This study examined whether gender differences in sexually based perceptions of social interactions persist when traditional male-female power roles are reversed, when the interaction becomes progressively more sexually harassing, and when the response to the harassment is accepting or rejecting. A laboratory experiment was conducted in which 187 female and 165 male undergraduate students viewed a 5-minute videotape. Twelve versions of a scenario…
Computer Programs to Compute Lord's Item Bias Statistic for a Three-Parameter ICC
Lord (1980) has suggested a method for detecting subgroup bias at the item level. When a three parameter ICC model is used, a chi square statistic is computed on the multivariate differences between the parameter estimates of item discrimination and difficulty (the guessing parameter is held constant). LOGIST is a program to compute the parameter estimates but it does not contain procedures for calculating the chi square statistic. A series of pr…
