Blurred Boundaries: Establishing the Contours of Unwanted Sexual Attention
Reclaiming the Night-Time Economy, 2016Co-Authors: Bianca FilebornAbstract:What, precisely, is Unwanted Sexual Attention? This chapter explores the ways in which young adults understand, construct, and experience Unwanted Sexual Attention within the context of licensed venues. It shows that Unwanted Sexual Attention constitutes a broad range of behaviours, ranging from seemingly ‘minor’ instances of staring, groping, and verbal comments, through to Sexual assault and rape. However, what constitutes Unwanted Sexual Attention is a far from straightforward question, with the contours of the boundaries between ‘wanted’ and ‘not wanted’, ‘harmful’ and ‘not harmful’ fluid and malleable. Unwanted Sexual Attention is a situated and context-dependent occurrence. These findings challenge and further complicate existing understandings of Unwanted Sexual Attention and Sexual violence and have important implications for the role of venues and bystanders in responding to Unwanted Sexual Attention.

Taking Back the Night: Preventing Unwanted Sexual Attention
Reclaiming the Night-Time Economy, 2016Co-Authors: Bianca FilebornAbstract:What can we now say about what Unwanted Sexual Attention is, and how might we begin to take steps to prevent it? This book presents important implications for current conceptual and theoretical understandings of Sexual violence. Such understandings require a degree of fluidity or flexibility, and the author advocates for the use of assemblage as a productive conceptual tool in this regard. Theoretically, these findings present a clear need for our frameworks of understanding of Sexual violence to account also for intersections of identity, space, and place. Current, largely heteronormative theories of Sexual violence are insufficient to account for the complexity and diversity of young people’s experiences. The chapter concludes by considering what can be done to work towards preventing Unwanted Sexual Attention in pubs and clubs.

Community and Belonging
Reclaiming the Night-Time Economy, 2016Co-Authors: Bianca FilebornAbstract:What role might a sense of community and belonging play in facilitating young adults’ sense of safety in venues? Does feeling a sense of community and belonging—that you are ‘like’ other patrons and are being ‘looked out’ for—shape the ways in which young people understand and interpret Unwanted Sexual Attention? The chapter explores the ways that a sense of community and belonging were central to participants’ feelings of safety, and in shaping their experiences and understandings of Unwanted Sexual Attention. Young people consistently ‘othered’ the perpetrators and sites of Unwanted Sexual Attention to venues and people that were not ‘like’ them. Discussions of Unwanted Sexual Attention are thus used as a means of identity performance and establishing the boundaries of group belonging as much as they reflect any ‘reality’ of young people’s experiences.

Sexual Culture and Consent
Reclaiming the Night-Time Economy, 2016Co-Authors: Bianca FilebornAbstract:Licensed venues are often highly Sexual spaces. That is, they are places where Sexual interaction can be normative and actively sought out by young people. What role might Sexual venue cultures play in facilitating the occurrence of Unwanted Sexual Attention? How do we distinguish between the wanted and the Unwanted in the context of a night out? This chapter considers the norms of Sexual interaction and consent in venues and they ways in which these can form part of the cultural scaffolding—to draw on Nicola Gavey’s terminology—of Unwanted Sexual Attention. Young people’s experiences and perceptions of Unwanted Sexual Attention are informed by Sexual culture and the ways in which they relate to venue culture. Thus, the concepts of community and belonging are again central to understanding participants’ experiences.

Space and Control
Reclaiming the Night-Time Economy, 2016Co-Authors: Bianca FilebornAbstract:What role do the material and non-corporeal elements of venues play in mediating young people’s sense of safety and in shaping or facilitating the occurrence of Unwanted Sexual Attention? This chapter explores the role of spatial design, environment, and geographies as a final component of assemblages of Unwanted Sexual Attention and safety. However, it argues that the physical design and environment cannot be viewed in isolation from other factors such as venue culture and participants’ sense of belonging in a venue: these are intimately intertwined with whether or not young people feel a need to exert control and autonomy over self and space. It is likely to be a complex assemblage of these factors that facilitate Unwanted Sexual Attention and that mediate how young adults understand or perceive their experiences.

communication of social support to Sexual harassment victims professors responses to a student s narrative of Unwanted Sexual Attention
Communication Studies, 2005Co-Authors: Shereen G. Bingham, Karen M. BatteyAbstract:University professors are important sources of social support for students who have been Sexually harassed. However, research has not investigated how professors communicate with students who seek help in coping with this distressful problem. This study examines the types of social support provided by 96 professors in response to a student’s narrative of Unwanted Sexual Attention, and factors that influence their support. The results show that professors provided the student with more problem solving than emotional support. Consistent with the social support model that was a foundation for the study, the types of support were associated with the sex of the professors and student, and the professors’ tolerance for Sexual harassment.

Precarious employment and self-reported experiences of Unwanted Sexual Attention and Sexual harassment at work. An analysis of the European Working Conditions Survey.
PloS one, 2020Co-Authors: Marvin Reuter, Morten Wahrendorf, Cristina Di Tecco, Tahira M. Probst, Antonio Chirumbolo, Stefanie Ritz-timme, Claudio Barbaranelli, Sergio Iavicoli, Nico DraganoAbstract:Unwanted Sexual Attention (UWSA) and Sexual harassment (SH) are prevalent experiences for women in working life and often accompanied by poor health. Despite increasing numbers especially of young people working in insecure and irregular employment settings, there is little empirical evidence if such precarious arrangements are associated with UWSA or SH. To investigate this, we used a representative sample of the European working population consisting of 63,966 employees in 33 countries who participated in the European Working Conditions Survey in 2010 or 2015. Precarious employment (PE) was assessed on the basis of seven indicators and a formative index derived from them: temporary employment, contractual duration < 1 year, schedule unpredictability, involuntary part-time, low information on occupational health and safety risks (OSH), low pay (wage < 60%), and multiple job-holding. We measured self-reported experiences of workplace UWSA during the last month and SH during the last 12 months each using a single-item questionnaire. Multi-level Poisson regressions were used to estimate prevalence ratios for UWSA and SH according to PE adjusted for survey year, age, education, type of household, migration background, job tenure, weekly working hours, occupational position, working sector, company size, workplace gender ratio, and visiting customers or clients. 0.8% of men reported UWSA in the last month and 2.6% of the women. SH in the last year was reported by 0.4% of the men and 1.3% of the women. For both men and women, PE was significantly associated with elevated prevalence of UWSA and SH, in particular when reporting schedule unpredictability, multiple job-holding and low information on OSH. Our results suggest that precariously employed individuals may be more prone to experience Unwanted Sexual behaviour at the workplace compared with workers in non-precarious settings.

Unwanted Sexual Attention at work and long-term sickness absence: a follow-up register-based study
BMC public health, 2016Co-Authors: Annie Hogh, Paul Maurice Conway, Thomas Clausen, Ida E. H. Madsen, Hermann BurrAbstract:The current understanding of the relationship between Unwanted Sexual Attention at work and long-term sickness absence (LTSA) is limited for three reasons: 1) the under-researched role of Unwanted Sexual Attention perpetrated by individuals outside the work organization; 2) a widespread use of self-reported measures of sickness absence, with an unclear identification of sickness absence episodes of long duration; 3) the cross-sectional design of most existing studies. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the relationship between self-reported Unwanted Sexual Attention at work and subsequent LTSA (≥3 weeks), stratifying by gender and source of exposure (i.e., colleagues, managers and/or subordinates vs. clients/customers/patients). This prospective study is based on a pooled sample of 14,605 employees from three Danish surveys conducted in 2000, 2004 and 2005, providing a total of 19,366 observations. A single questionnaire-based item was used to assess exposure to Unwanted Sexual Attention. The pooled dataset was merged with Danish register data on LTSA. The risk of first-onset episode of LTSA (up to 18 months after baseline) in connection with Unwanted Sexual Attention was examined using Cox proportional hazards models. We estimated Hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) adjusted for age, influence at work, work pace, occupational group and mode of data collection. We also adjusted for repeated measures from individual respondents by stratifying the Cox models by wave of survey. Unwanted Sexual Attention from colleagues, managers and/or subordinates predicted LTSA among men (HR 2.66; 95 % CI 1.42-5.00). Among women, an elevated but non-statistically significant risk of LTSA (HR 1.18; 95 % CI 0.65-2.14) was found. Unwanted Sexual Attention from clients/customers/patients did not predict LTSA, neither among men nor among women. The findings indicate a significantly elevated risk of LTSA, among men only, in relation to exposure to Unwanted Sexual Attention from colleagues, managers and/or subordinates. This study therefore suggests both individual and organizational costs associated with Unwanted Sexual Attention at work. Due to the low prevalence of Unwanted Sexual Attention, larger studies with more statistical power are needed to confirm (or disconfirm) the present findings.

The role of poor sleep in the relation between workplace bullying/Unwanted Sexual Attention and long-term sickness absence.
International archives of occupational and environmental health, 2016Co-Authors: Kirsten Nabe-nielsen, Annie Hogh, Paul Maurice Conway, Matias Brødsgaard Grynderup, Theis Lange, Johan Hviid Andersen, Jens Peter Bonde, Anne Helene Garde, Linda Kaerlev, Reiner RuguliesAbstract:Purpose While exposure to bullying and Unwanted Sexual Attention was previously found to increase the risk of sickness absence, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Poor sleep can be a consequence of stressful exposures and a cause of poor health, and poor sleep is also a determinant of insufficient recovery. Therefore, the present study investigated whether poor sleep mediates and/or moderates the association between bullying and Unwanted Sexual Attention, on the one hand, and long-term sickness absence (LTSA), on the other hand.

Does psychological well-being mediate the association between experiences of acts of offensive behaviour and turnover among care workers? A longitudinal analysis.
Journal of advanced nursing, 2012Co-Authors: Thomas Clausen, Annie Hogh, Isabella Gomes Carneiro, Vilhelm BorgAbstract:Aim To investigate whether the psychological well-being of care workers in the Danish eldercare services mediated the association between experiences of acts of offensive behaviour and actual turnover. Background Research suggests that experiences of acts of offensive behaviour are associated with risk of turnover. However, little is known about the longitudinal associations between experiences of different types of offensive behaviour (threats, violence, bullying, and Unwanted Sexual Attention) and risk of actual turnover. Design A prospective cohort study. Methods The study was conducted among employees in the eldercare services in Denmark. Employees aged 55 or more and non-care staff were excluded from the study. Employees who were working in eldercare at baseline (2005) and no longer worked in eldercare at follow-up (2006) were interviewed through questionnaires. Respondents to this questionnaire were coded as cases of turnover (N = 608) and were compared with employees who had not changed jobs during follow-up (N = 4330). Data on experiences of acts of offensive behaviour and well-being were measured at baseline. Data were analysed using logistic regression analysis. Results Frequent and occasional experiences of bullying and threats and occasional experiences of Unwanted Sexual Attention at baseline entailed a significantly increased risk of turnover at follow-up. Further analyses showed that psychological well-being significantly reduced the risk of turnover and that well-being partially mediated the association between bullying and turnover and fully mediated the association between threats, Unwanted Sexual Attention, and turnover. Conclusion Prevention of threats, Unwanted Sexual Attention and – especially – bullying may contribute towards improving well-being and reducing turnover among eldercare staff.

THE DIRECT AND MODERATING INFLUENCES OF Sexual-HARASSMENT PERVASIVENESS, COPING STRATEGIES, AND GENDER ON WORK-RELATED OUTCOMES
Psychology of Women Quarterly, 1998Co-Authors: Margaret S. StockdaleAbstract: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 confrontive coping strategies tended to experience worse job outcomes than did others. Furthermore, use of confrontive coping tended to amplify associations between harassment pervasiveness and consequences, especially for men. A “wimpy male” hypothesis to explain this last finding is discussed. Finally, the study suggests that efforts to help both women and men to effectively respond to Sexual harassment are needed.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board's Survey of Sexual Harassment: The Fit of a Three-Factor Model.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1997Co-Authors: Margaret S. Stockdale, Kathryn G. HopeAbstract:Abstract Research over the past decade and a half exploring the psychological dimensions of the definition of Sexual harassment has converged on a three-factor model: gender harassment, Unwanted Sexual Attention, and Sexual coercion. The current study used confirmatory factor analysis to determine whether the most widely used Sexual harassment survey, the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (USMSPB; 1981) survey, measures this three-factor structure. Data from a sample of the USMSPB's 1988 survey of Federal employees ( n = 1070) and from a midwestern university's survey of undergraduates ( n = 572) and graduate students, faculty, and staff ( n = 575) were analyzed. The three-factor model fit reasonably well in all samples, but two survey items, measuring Sexual assault and Sexual favors, were weakly related to their respective factors. This model, however, was only marginally stable across female and male subsamples, and gender harassment and Unwanted Sexual Attention had low discriminant validity. Both practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Acknowledging Sexual harassment: A test of alternative models.
Basic and Applied Social Psychology, 1995Co-Authors: Margaret S. Stockdale, Alan Vaux, Jeffrey CashinAbstract:Few victims of Sexual harassment acknowledge that their experience constitutes Sexual harassment. In this study, we examined five general models gleaned from the literature on observers' or laypersons' perceptions of Sexual harassment to examine their efficacy in explaining victims' acknowledgment processes: type-of-harassing experience; personal characteristics of the target/observer; and affective consequences of the event(s), attributions, and power (status) of the offender. Data were collected in a campus-wide survey of students, faculty, and staff at a large midwestern university (N = 1,147), which measured incidence rates of eight forms of Sexual harassment and the situational characteristics of, responses to, and consequences of the most dramatic experience. Results from single-model and multiple-model hierarchical logistic regression analyses partially support each of the models. The following general model emerged: Individuals who experience Unwanted Sexual Attention are more likely than others t...
