The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship of sexual harassment perception of gender attitude, and personality among high school students. Five hundreds and seventy-eight participants from 3 different school levels (i.e., junior, senior and vocational high schools) completed a questionnaire on Sexual Harassment Perception Scale. Moreover, 3 junior high school students with low sexual harassment perception and high sexual experiences, and the other 3 senior/ vocational students with low sexual harassment perception and high sexual experiences were recruited as target students and were interviewed by investigator for determining whether their written responses were consistent with their actual perceptions. T tests, correlation, and analysis of variance were conducted on the quantitative data. For the interview data, an inductive analysis was applied. The major findings are as follows: 1. The high school students easily illustrated the definitions of sexual harassment. However, boys in particular have difficulties giving examples on sexual harassments. 2. Over 90% of the entire students have experienced sexual harassment. Boys¡¦ sexual harassment experiences were significantly higher than girls. 3. Over 92% of the targeted students reported that their actual sexual harassment experiences was higher than their subjectively judgment of encountered sexual harassment. 4. Among sexual harassments, sexual assault is the easiest to recognize while gender harassment is the hardest to detect. 5. Students¡¦ perceptions of sexual harassment are significant different which may be attributed to gender, school level, majors, and family backgrounds. 6. Students¡¦ perception of sexual harassment is counter correlated with their sexual harassment experiences. 7. Students with high sexist attitudes have significantly higher perceptions of sexual harassment than low sexist attitude students. 8. Students with neuroticism have significantly higher perception of sexual harassment than students with other personalities.

Since the early 1970's, there has been an increasing awareness of the problem of sexual harassment both, in the workplace and, more recently, in academia. Although this attention has primarily focused on employer-employee and professor-student interactions, there has been one area which has been neglected in the research literature. This area is the student-student interaction or peer harassment.Therefore, the purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the prevalence of peer harassment by measuring the following areas: students' definitions of sexual harassment, attitudes toward the causes and seriousness of sexual harassment, personal experiences with regards to initiating as well as experiencing sexual harassment, response to sexual harassment, and the impact of sexual harassment on students' academic experiences as well as on their personal lives.The sample consisted of 187 undergraduate students enrolled in sociology classes at Ball State University during the spring semester of 1992. The statistical procedures that were used for this study consisted of balance indexes and crosstabulations. / Department of Sociology

The aim in this study is to uncover the occupational discrimination and sexual harassment against the policewomen in Ankara, and to determine whether or not these two negative conditions can explain the stress burden of policewomen. A total number of 125 respondents have been interviewed. We divided the respondents into two groups, according to where they are employed, namely those of General Directorate of Police (EGM = The centre) and of Police Directorate of Ankara (AEM = The periphery), so that we can make a comparison between the two groups. We found that the policewomen in AEM are subjected to more stress burden and sexual harassment than those of in EGM, yet, in terms of occupational discrimination there is not a meaningful difference between the two. At a macro level, the study reveals that sexual harassment and occupational discrimination explains the occupational stress burden of the policewomen.
