Abstract

Background: Perception of sexual harassment in informal relations is a largely uninvestigated topic. This study aimed to bridge this gap by examining the effect of the type of relationship between the perpetrator and the victim on the perception of harassment. Furthermore, we considered potential factors moderating the tested relationships: acceptance of gender stereotypes and sex.

Participants and procedure: In total, 369 participants were assigned to one of three conditions including a female victim and a male perpetrator who was either her neighbor, coworker, or supervisor.

Results: The participants assessed the harasser to be responsible. The supervisor's behavior was considered more punishable than that of the colleague or neighbor. The male participants reported that the perpetrator was less deserving of punishment than female participants.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that social norms regarding sexual harassment in formal and informal relationships are similar, excluding harassment by supervisors, which was rated as most punishable.

非正式关系中性骚扰的社会认知

背景:对非正式关系中性骚扰的感知是一个很大程度上未被调查的话题。这项研究旨在通过研究加害者和受害者之间的关系类型对骚扰感知的影响来弥合这一差距。此外，我们考虑了调节测试关系的潜在因素:接受性别刻板印象和性别。参与者和程序:总共有369名参与者被分配到三种情况中的一种，包括一名女性受害者和一名男性犯罪者，后者要么是她的邻居，同事，要么是主管。结果:参与者评估骚扰者的责任。主管的行为被认为比同事或邻居的行为更应该受到惩罚。男性参与者报告说，犯罪者比女性参与者更不应该受到惩罚。结论:研究结果表明，正式和非正式关系中性骚扰的社会规范是相似的，但不包括主管的骚扰，后者被认为是最应受到惩罚的。
