A dual processing model of sexual harassment judgments predicted that the behavior of a complainant in a prior case would influence evaluations in an unrelated subsequent case. In the first of two experimental scenarios depicting social-sexual conduct at work, the female complainant's conduct was manipulated to be aggressive, submissive, ambiguous, or neutral. Half of the participants were asked to reflect upon the first scenario after reading it and before answering responsibility questions. The other half simply reviewed the scenario and answered the questions. When the complainant acted aggressively, her behavior in the first scenario caused men who reflected on the fact pattern to find less evidence of harassment. Most interestingly, an aggressive complainant observed in the first scenario caused participants (especially women) to rate lower the likelihood that a neutral complainant in a second independent case was the victim of gender discrimination. Across cases, men found less evidence of harassment than did women.
性骚扰判断的双加工模型预测，先前案件中投诉人的行为会影响无关后续案件的评估。在描述工作中社交性行为的两个实验场景中的第一个场景中，女性投诉人的行为被操纵为攻击性、顺从性、模糊性或中性。一半的参与者被要求在阅读第一个场景后、回答责任问题之前对其进行思考。另一半参与者只是简单地浏览了场景并回答了问题。当投诉人表现出攻击性时，她在第一个场景中的行为使得那些思考事实情况的男性发现骚扰证据更少。最有趣的是，在第一个场景中观察到的攻击性投诉人会使参与者（尤其是女性）降低对第二个独立案件中中性投诉人是性别歧视受害者可能性的评分。在各个案件中，男性发现的骚扰证据比女性少。
