Forensic Issues in Sexual Harassment
Handbook of Forensic Psychology, 2004Co-Authors: Claudia Avina, Adrian H. Bowers, William O'donohueAbstract:Publisher Summary This chapter illustrates important forensic issues related to Sexual Harassment, reviewing legal and psychological definitions of Sexual Harassment, including important federal cases, epidemiological data, characteristics of victims and perpetrators of Sexual Harassment, and common psychological effects on Sexual Harassment victims. The difference between the legal and psychological definitions of Sexual Harassment is that legal definitions may not account for all events that victims experience as Sexually harassing. In order for judicial decisions to be made in the plaintiff's favor, it must be demonstrated that were it not for the sex of the victim, the behavior would not have occurred. Allegations of “quid pro quo” can be made based on a single incident and do not require continuous actions on behalf of the employer, as is in the case of hostile environment claims. Hostile environment Sexual Harassment accounts for behaviors that are unwelcome and unwanted and produce an intimidating and unfriendly work environment. It involves either verbal or nonverbal behaviors of a Sexual nature that create an environment that interferes with an employee's work performance.

Sexual Harassment and PTSD: Is Sexual Harassment diagnosable trauma?
Journal of traumatic stress, 2002Co-Authors: Claudia Avina, William O'donohueAbstract:Sexual Harassment has become a major social, legal, and mental health problem because of its high prevalence and its negative consequences for victims. These consequences can include decreased productivity, loss of job, decreased income, and impaired psychological and physical well-being. Despite evidence from empirical studies that victims often exhibit posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, some have argued that Sexual Harassment does not constitute legitimate trauma. We argue that many forms of Sexual Harassment meet the diagnostic Criteria A1 and A2 of PTSD. Finally, the DSM-IV trauma criterion is explicated, and its relationship with Sexual Harassment and its effects are discussed.

Sexual Harassment: A review of the literature
Aggression and Violent Behavior, 1998Co-Authors: William O'donohue, Kala Downs, Elizabeth A. YeaterAbstract:We critically review the published research on Sexual Harassment. Definitional, epidemiological, etiological, treatment, and prevention issues are examined as well as the literature on the effects of Sexual Harassment. Suggestions for future research are provided. Although there are many controversies concerning the definition of Sexual Harassment, it is clear that there are subtypes of Sexual Harassment, such as gender Harassment, unwanted Sexual attention, and Sexual coercion. Existing research indicates that Sexual Harassment is a frequent form of victimization of women, affecting around half of all women, with verbal Harassment being more common that nonverbal Harassment. It appears common for Sexual Harassment victims to experience negative psychological, occupational, and economic consequences, although prospective research utilizing valid and comprehensive assessment methods needs to be conducted. Little is known about the etiology of Sexual Harassment, although models that take into account organizational and individual variables seem to account for more of the variance. Treatment of victims and harassers is hampered by a lack of treatment outcome research. Suggestions for future research are provided.

The Sexual Harassment of men: Evidence for a broader theory of Sexual Harassment and sex discrimination.
Psychology Public Policy and Law, 1999Co-Authors: Margaret S. Stockdale, Michelle Visio, Leena BatraAbstract: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. Preliminary postulates of this framework are tested with data from the 1995 Department of Defense Sexual Harassment survey of the U.S. military (J. E. Edwards, T. W. Elig, D. L. Edwards, & R. A. Riemer (1997). The results suggest that SSSH occurs because targeted men do not fit their offenders' gender-role stereotype of heteroSexual hypermasculinity. Legal and workplace implications are discussed in an effort to expand existing theories and policies regarding Sexual Harassment to this more encompassing view.

Sexual Harassment of nurses in the workplace.
Journal of nursing care quality, 2004Co-Authors: Sharon M. Valente, Vern BulloughAbstract:Nurses who are Sexually harassed at work face frustration and emotional and economic consequences. Historically before the 1970s, nurses had little legal recourse and tolerated Sexual Harassment as a necessary "evil" associated with working. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 created the option for legal remedies for Sexual Harassment/discrimination cases. Successful court cases established the legal criteria for Sexual Harassment. This article discusses the history, definition, high profile cases, research, consequences, and prevention of Sexual Harassment. Although research is scant and little is known of how nurses respond to harassing behavior, prevention requires coordinated activities of employers, individual employees, and the healthcare profession. Sexual Harassment at work increases anxiety and undermines the nurse's ability to focus on the delivery of safe and competent care.

the dark triad and Sexual Harassment proclivity
Personality and Individual Differences, 2016Co-Authors: Virgil Zeiglerhill, Judith Morag, Avi Besser, Keith W CampbellAbstract:Abstract Recent research concerning Sexual Harassment has highlighted important individual differences in the tendency to engage in these behaviors. The present studies extend these findings by examining the connections between the Dark Triad of personality traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and Sexual Harassment proclivity. Study 1 (N = 642 Israeli community members) revealed that the Dark Triad traits had unique positive associations with Sexual Harassment tendencies. Similar results emerged for Study 2 (N = 1909 Israeli community members) such that each of the Dark Triad traits had a unique positive association with the proclivity to engage in Sexual Harassment. In addition, Study 2 revealed differences in the connections that the Dark Triad traits had with perceived likelihood estimates concerning whether targets would be victims or perpetrators of Sexual Harassment. Discussion focuses on the implications of these results for understanding the links between Dark Triad personality traits and Sexual Harassment.
