摘要
性骚扰旁观者干预(SHBI)被认为是解决工作场所持续事件的关键,但关于这种行为的学术知识仍然是零星和有限的。为了推动这一研究领域的发展,本研究抛弃了传统的以变量为中心的研究方法,采用了潜在特征分析方法来回答三个关键问题:(1)旁观者采取哪些行动组合(特征)进行干预?(2)旁观者何时以特定的SHBI特征进行干预?(3)当旁观者以不同的行为组合进行干预时会发生什么?我们首先通过两个基于场景的试点研究开发并验证了一个量表来测量五种不同的SHBI行为(即,面对,分散注意力,支持,报告和讨论)。然后,使用该量表和潜在剖面分析,我们在实地调查研究(N₁= 381)中确定了三种不同的剖面(即积极干预,低风险干预和无/有限干预)。在另外两个实地调查研究中(N₂= 312;N₃= 326),通过将社会认知理论与道德镜头相结合,我们不仅复制了三个相似的侧面图,而且还检查了前因(即关于性骚扰和性别的组织规范,旁观者的愤怒、同理心和抑制骚扰的期望)和侧面图成员的结果(即骚扰者的攻击、目标感激、第三方提升和旁观者的内疚和骄傲)。总的来说,这项研究为SHBI的本质、其在工作场所的独特模式以及与SHBI概况相关的潜在组织实践提供了新的见解。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
A spectrum of bystander actions: Latent profile analysis of sexual harassment intervention behavior at work.
Sexual harassment bystander intervention (SHBI) has been deemed critical to addressing persistent incidents in the workplace, yet scholarly knowledge of this behavior remains sporadic and limited. To move this field of research forward, the present study departs from the traditional variable-centered approach and instead adopts a latent profile approach to answer three key questions: (1) Which combinations (profiles) of actions do bystanders take to intervene? (2) When do bystanders intervene with specific profiles of SHBI? and (3) What happens when bystanders intervene with different behavioral combinations? We first developed and validated a scale to measure five distinct SHBI behaviors (i.e., confronting, distracting, supporting, reporting, and discussing) with two scenario-based pilot studies. Then, using this scale and latent profile analysis, we identified three distinctive profiles (i.e., active intervention, low-risk intervention, and no/limited intervention) in a field survey study (N₁ = 381). In two additional field survey studies (N₂ = 312; N₃ = 326), by integrating social cognitive theory with the moral lens, we not only replicated the three similar profiles but also examined antecedents (i.e., organizational norms about sexual harassment and gender, and bystanders' anger, empathy, and harassment-curbing expectancy) and outcomes of the profile memberships (i.e., aggression from the harasser, target gratitude, third-party elevation, and bystander guilt and pride). Overall, this research provides new insights into the nature of SHBI, its distinct patterns in the workplace, and potential organizational practices related to SHBI profiles.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Psychology® focuses on publishing original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (excluding clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are better suited for other APA journals). The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings. These phenomena can occur at individual, group, organizational, or cultural levels, and in various work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions. The journal welcomes submissions from both public and private sector organizations, for-profit or nonprofit. It publishes several types of articles, including:
1.Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that expand conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses).
2.Theory development articles and integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and generate new theories on psychological phenomena to stimulate novel research.
3.Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are challenging to capture with quantitative methods or require inductive theory building.
