To Act or not to Act: The Dilemma Faced by Sexual Harassment Observers
探讨性骚扰旁观者干预的替代机制,分类干预类型并分析促进或抑制干预的因素,对研究性骚扰预防和干预策略的学者有参考价值。
Efforts to end sexual harassment that rely primarily on target reporting are unlikely to be successful because most targets do not report their experiences. Thus, we explore an alternative mechanism for controlling sexual harassment—observer intervention. We examine observer intervention in sexual harassment using the literature on bystander intervention for guidance. We describe the concept of observer intervention, develop a taxonomy of intervention types, and discuss factors promoting and inhibiting its occurrence.
