STUDENTSKA PERCEPCIJA SEKSUALNOGA UZNEMIRAVANJA
STUDENTS' PERCEPTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this study was to explore differences between male and female perceptions of sexual harassment, depending on the sex and the reaction of the victim. The participants in the study were 159 male and female students from the University of Zagreb. They assessed a hypothetical sexual harassment story on five 4-point Likert scales. The significant differences between men and women were found in their perception of the incident as well as differences concerning the sex of the victim. Women generally assessed the stories more negatively. The assessment was generally more negative if the victim was female. Male and female participants also differed in the kind of punishment they would see as just for the perpetrator, and in the way they would feel and act in such a situation.
