Abstract

Background

Bystander behaviors can be an important key for preventing all forms of violence against women. Identifying their facilitators and barriers becomes a priority. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of the previous experiences of women (as sexual harassment victim or bystander) on their perceived responsibility to intervene as bystander in a case of workplace sexual harassment and to determine the possible mediating role of certain attitudinal and evaluative factors.

Method

A non-probability convenience sample of 633 Spanish women answered a sociodemographic data questionnaire, a victimization questionnaire designed ad hoc, and the Questionnaire of Intention to Help in VAW Cases.

Results

The results obtained indicate that previous victimization experiences as a victim or witness of sexual harassment impact the responsibility to intervene, mediated by the acceptance of sexual harassment myths and the perceived severity of workplace sexual harassment.

Conclusions

These results may help to understand how to design prevention programs and which key variables to incorporate.

工作场所性骚扰的受害经历对西班牙妇女作为旁观者进行干预的责任的影响：神话接受度和感知严重性的中介作用

背景旁观者行为是预防一切形式暴力侵害妇女行为的重要关键。识别其促进因素和障碍成为当务之急。本研究旨在分析妇女（作为性骚扰受害者或旁观者）的以往经历对其在工作场所性骚扰案件中作为旁观者进行干预的责任感的影响，并确定某些态度和评价因素可能起到的中介作用。方法对 633 名西班牙妇女进行了非概率抽样调查，她们回答了社会人口学数据问卷、专门设计的受害情况问卷以及暴力侵害妇女案件中的帮助意向问卷。结果结果表明，以前作为性骚扰受害者或目击者的受害经历会影响干预责任，而性骚扰神话的接受程度和对工作场所性骚扰严重程度的感知则是干预责任的中介。
