Book excerpt: Sexual harassment in the workplace remains a serious problem for organizations despite numerous federal and state laws that have been enacted to combat its existence. An allegation of sexual harassment and legal claims stemming from those allegations can be devastating for the victim, for the transgressor, and for the organization in which the harassment has been purported. This dissertation has three papers addressing this important topic. The first paper, “Apologies: Their Psychological Bases.” explores how victims perceive their employer’s responses to sexual harassment claims. Specifically, it explores whether an apology by the organization is even a plausible solution considering that it may be deemed an admission of liability, and assuming that the apology is protected by law: does the apology accomplish its underlying goal of reducing the negative effects of a sexual harassment claim? The second paper, “States’ Apology Laws: A Summary,” summarizes states’ apology laws, provides an overview of apology effectiveness, and discusses directions for future research on the use of an apology as an organizationally-relevant conflict resolution strategy. In the first two papers, apologies are posited to be effective tools in combating the negative consequences of sexual harassment claims. In the third paper, one of many important empirical issues is addressed to further consolidate our understanding of how and when to use apologies as effective conflict-resolution mechanisms. Paper three poses the question of what role attributed responsibility for harassment plays in alleged victims’ reactions to the transgression. I answer this question through an empirical study using an experimental design. Paper three suggests that victims are more likely to engage in legal claiming behavior when they attribute responsibility to the organization versus the alleged transgressor.
Download or read book The Social Construction of Sexual Harassment Law written by Mia Cahill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. The global legal landscape is littered with attempts to provide context and meaning for sexual harassment law. Most have failed because they have limited themselves to the mere words of law. This cross-national study is the first to expand our notion of sexual harassment law and implementation by exposing the relationship between law and its social context, demonstrating how this fundamentally influences legal understandings and outcomes. Taking a unique theoretical approach, this book explores perceptions of law within national, corporate and the individual contexts, analyzing the potentials of each level to influence the social understanding of law and the wider role of law in society itself. The result is a pioneering work of fresh insight which will appeal to a broad range of academic disciplines.

The final section examines how people cope with prejudice, including a discussion of coping mechanisms, reporting sexual harassment, and how identity is related to effective coping.

This is true for all people of all ages and in all areas of life, for those struggling with their daily tasks as well as for those coping with a critical life event.

Download or read book Transforming Psychology Gender in Theory and Practice written by Chicago Stephanie Riger Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies Program University of Illinois and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000-08-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, a rich, diverse, yet sometimes contradictory body of research has been gathered under the general rubric of "psychology of women." This burgeoning literature represents several disciplines, among them psychology, psychiatry, sociology, political science, and women's studies. To bring sense to this agglomeration of views, both for the layperson and the student, the author looks at research in this area as a social process and refutes the notion that science can be objective about its search for universal truths. She asks us to reflect on how we choose among explanations of behavior, calling the need to examine the psychology of women in a social and historical context. Throughout the book, Riger reveals how interpretive frameworks shape how we perceive research findings. Her central theme suggests that social factors shape the meaning and experience of biological femaleness.
