Few studies have investigated why harassment has negative effects on women's well-being. The authors proposed that, for women working in traditionally male occupations, gender harassment (GH) causes overperformance demands (OPD), which lead to psychological distress. This mediated model was strongly supported for 262 female police officers but, as proposed, was not supported for male officers (N = 315). For men, levels of GH and OPD were lower than for women, and GH was not a significant predictor of OPD. Harassing behaviors thus had different consequences for women and men. A lack of perceived support for equal deployment of women police was associated with OPD for women,and family --> work conflict was a significant predictor of OPD for both men and women.
很少有研究调查为何骚扰会对女性的幸福感产生负面影响。作者提出，对于从事传统男性职业的女性而言，性别骚扰（GH）会导致过高的绩效要求（OPD），进而引发心理困扰。这一中介模型在262名女警官中得到了有力支持，但正如所提出的那样，在男警官（N = 315）中并未得到支持。对于男性而言，GH和OPD的水平低于女性，且GH并不是OPD的显著预测因素。因此，骚扰行为对女性和男性产生了不同的后果。女性警察缺乏对平等部署的支持感与OPD相关，而家庭与工作的冲突是男性和女性OPD的重要预测因素。
