Abstract Details

2023, Master of Science (MS), Wright State University, Human Factors and Industrial/Organizational Psychology MS.
Sexual harassment continues to be an important area of study. However, there’s a dearth of research regarding sexual harassment towards others that considers sex, gender, and sexual orientation. Previous research has suggested that gender harassment and heterosexist harassment are intertwined (Leskinen & Cortina, 2014), but little research has examined how the empirical and conceptual overlap of gender harassment and heterosexist harassment could allude to a more general construct, norm violation sexual harassment. Norm violation sexual harassment is an overarching construct focusing on norm violations rather than sex, gender, or sexual orientation specifically. Using two samples, my study demonstrates evidence for the unidimensional construct of norm violation sexual harassment. Moreover, I developed the norm violation sexual harassment scale (NVSHS), providing evidence for reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and its usefulness over the SHP. Therefore, the NVSHS should be considered in future harassment work and studied further to provide additional validation evidence.
