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.

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting preservice mathematics teachers&rsquo / decisions on probability teaching. The sample of the study was 248 preservice mathematics teachers from Gazi University, Hacettepe University, and Middle East Technical University. According to the gender the number of females and males were 170 and 78 respectively. To obtain necessary data for the study, the following measuring instruments were used: (1) Probability Achievement Test (PAT) / (2) Probability Misconception Test (PMT) / (3) Attitude toward Probability Teaching Scale (APTS) / (4) Attitude toward Probability Scale (APS). Only the third measuring instrument was developed and its reliability and validity was tested by the researcher. An interview was done with 12 preservice mathematics teachers from Gazi University, Hacettepe University, and Middle East Technical University. The data of the study were analyzed by using SPSS and with qualitative techniques. The results of the study demonstrated that there are some factors affecting preservice mathematics teachers&rsquo / decisions on probability teaching. These factors were their attitude toward probability, probability achievement and misconceptions. Subjects thought that gender would have no affect on their decision on probability teaching.

長久以來，性別不平等的狀況持續存在著，尤其在勞動市場方面。在所有能增進性別平等狀況的管道中，本研究檢驗台灣高中職以下的性別平等教育課程，對於學生未來職場上的性別態度之影響。我們假設，當人們覺得性別不平等狀況是不公平的（或覺得性別平等狀況是公平的），代表他/她具有正向的性別態度。利用台灣社會變遷調查2005年第五期第一次：工作與生活組之資料，以及迴歸不連續性設計（Regression Discontinuity Design）暨次序分對數模型（Ordered Logit Model），實證結果顯示女性在勞動市場中處於較不利的位置；性別平等教育對學生未來職場上的性別態度無顯著影響；女性，或受較高等教育者，或對於工作成就感到公平者，具有較顯著的正向性別態度。 / Gender inequity has always been there in the labor market. This paper examines how gender equity education in elementary and high schools affects students’ attitudes towards gender inequity issues in the future. This paper assumes that if people feel gender inequity is unfair, (or feel gender equity is fair), they have positive gender attitudes. Results derived from the data from 2005 Taiwan Social Change Survey (Round 5, Year 1): Work Orientation by using Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) as well as the Ordered Logit Model suggest that women indeed lag behind men in the labor market and that gender equity education has no significant effect on students’ gender attitudes. Females, people with higher education level, and people who feel their current achievement is fair have significantly more positive gender attitudes.
