Kelley's (Nebr Symp Motiv 15:192-238, 1967) attribution theory can inform sexual harassment research by identifying how observers use consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness information in determining whether a target or perpetrator is responsible for a sexual harassment situation. In this study, Kelley's theory is applied to a scenario in which a male perpetrator sexually harasses a female target in a university setting. Results from 314 predominantly female college students indicate that consistency and consensus information significantly affect participants' judgments of blame and responsibility for the situation. The authors discuss the importance of the reference groups used to derive consensus and distinctiveness information, and reintroduce Kelley's attribution theory as a means of understanding observers' perceptions of sexual harassment.
凯利的归因理论（Nebr Symp Motiv 15:192-238，1967）可以通过识别观察者如何使用共识、一致性和独特性信息来确定目标或肇事者是否应对性骚扰情况，为性骚扰研究提供信息。在这项研究中，凯利的理论被应用于一个男性肇事者在大学环境中性骚扰女性目标的场景。314 名主要是女性的大学生的结果表明，一致性和共识信息显著影响参与者对情况的指责和责任判断。作者讨论了用于得出共识和独特性信息的参考群体的重要性，并重新引入凯利的归因理论作为理解观察者对性骚扰看法的一种手段。
