Current empirical literature on sexual harassment in schools is mostly based on nonrepresentative samples of middle-class high-school Caucasian female students. Thus the scope of research regarding gender, age, and cultural differences is very limited. This article reports on findings on sexual harassment in Jewish and Arab schools in Israel with regard to gender, age, and cultural differences.
The study is part of the first national survey on school violence in Israel. The representative sample includes 10,400 students in grades 7 through 11 attending public schools in Israel. Students were asked to report whether they were victims of specific acts of sexual harassment in school during the month before the survey.
Overall, 29.1% of the students were victims of at least one act of harassment. The more common acts were to show offensive pictures or to send obscene letters, to take off or to try to take off part of the student's clothing, and to try to kiss a student. The most vulnerable groups are the Arab boys and 8th grade students. Report rates were the lowest among Arab girls.
Sexual harassment is prevalent in Israeli schools. The pattern of victimization is different for boys and girls and for students in Jewish and Arab schools. These patterns are a complex phenomenon that must be considered in the intervention and policy measures addressing sexual harassment at school.
当前有关学校性骚扰的实证文献大多基于中产阶级白人高中女生的非代表性样本。因此，关于性别、年龄和文化差异的研究范围非常有限。本文报告了以色列犹太学校和阿拉伯学校在性骚扰方面有关性别、年龄和文化差异的研究结果。
该研究是以色列首次全国性学校暴力调查的一部分。代表性样本包括以色列公立学校7至11年级的10400名学生。学生们被要求报告在调查前一个月他们是否是学校特定性骚扰行为的受害者。
总体而言，29.1%的学生至少遭受过一次骚扰行为。较常见的行为包括展示冒犯性图片或发送淫秽信件、脱掉或试图脱掉学生的部分衣服以及试图亲吻学生。最易受伤害的群体是阿拉伯男孩和八年级学生。阿拉伯女孩的报告率最低。
性骚扰在以色列学校中普遍存在。男孩和女孩以及犹太学校和阿拉伯学校的学生遭受性骚扰的模式不同。这些模式是一个复杂的现象，在针对学校性骚扰的干预和政策措施中必须予以考虑。
