A Descriptive Study of Situational and Individual Influences upon Individuals' Responses to Sexual Harassment
研究情境因素（如工作关系、骚扰类型、持续时间）和个体因素（如性别）如何影响联邦政府雇员对性骚扰的反应，包括投诉/拒绝和回避/顺从两种方式。
Recently, Thacker and Ferris (1991) proposed a theoretical model in which they suggested that targets' responses to sexual harassment would be influenced by the nature of the working relationship between the target and the harasser, the type of harassment, and gender. The purpose of this study is to investigate these potential influences, as well as duration, another situational influence, upon two types of target response: complaint/refusal and avoidance/going along. Respondents are employees of the Federal government. Findings suggest that both situational and individual influences have differential effects upon target response. Implications for the design of user-friendly sexual harassment prevention policies are discussed.
