This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.

Book excerpt: Despite an extensive amount of legal cases and social science research on sexual harassment, there are still important questions that need to be answered. Many legal scholars and social scientists disagree about how it should be defined, why people perceive ambiguous, but potentially sexually harassing situations differently and why it is morally offensive. A review of the legal history of sexual harassment and social science research examining these questions is presented. It is suggested that sexual harassment is morally offensive because it violates an individual's right to privacy. A study was performed to provide support for this theory by testing the hypothesis that the ability to regulate privacy successfully affects the interpretations of ambiguous, but potentially sexually harassing behavior. Participants were divided into three privacy regulation groups (less than desired, as much as desired, and more than desired) on a discrepancy score measure for the privacy preferences of reserve and solitude. Participants' reactions to ambiguous, but potentially harassing situations that either interfered with control of personal information or infringed upon personal space were assessed. The hypothesis that females would perceive vignettes as more harassing was also tested. Results indicated that females perceived vignettes as more harassing than males and that the difference was even larger for the personal space intrusions than the personal information intrusions. Subsequent analyses indicated that for those who regulated solitude adequately, people who failed to obtain as much reserve as desired perceived the vignettes intruding on personal information as more harassing than those who regulated reserve adequately or obtained more reserve than desired. Also, effects were found supporting the hypothesis that privacy preference affects regulation and the interpretation of potentially harassing behaviors. One of the main implications of these results is that there could potentially be a hierarchy or privacy needs. People who fail to obtain their desired level of one privacy preference may not attenuate to invasions of other types of privacy. The results provide some limited support for the theory that sexual harassment is morally offensive because it violates privacy rights. Further study of privacy regulation and sexual harassment can provide future benefits for society.

Download or read book In the Company of Men written by James Gruber and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2005 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite over twenty years of discussion and study, sexual harassment remains a significant problem in the workplace. Current research focusing on organizational policy and women's career development often ignores the reality of male dominance, prevalent in areas such as the military, the police, and firefighting-occupations that see not only more frequent but also more severe harassment, even sexual assault. Meanwhile, new evidence points to the fact that men are largely responsible not only for the harassment of women but for most harassment of other men as well. This landmark collection of original essays investigates the links between male dominance and sexual harassment in light of new research and more complex understandings of masculinity. Treated not merely as a matter of worker sex ratios but as an inherent element of workplace culture, male dominance is observed from a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches ranging from criminology and sociology to psychology and gender studies. Integrating both men's and women's viewpoints, research across occupational groups, and studies from both the United States and Europe, the chapters provide an invaluable international perspective into two inextricably intertwined problems rooted in cultural constructions of gender and institutional roles and processes.
