Subjection to sexual harassment is associated with a number of negative outcomes, such as internalizing and externalizing symptoms and a disinclination to attend school. Among adolescents, sexual harassment may increase with both their emerging sexual desires and increased socializing in mixed-gender peer groups during early adolescence. We set out to study the possible associations between normative and risk-taking sexual behavior and subjection to sexual harassment among adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 years. The informants included 90,953 boys and 91,746 girls, with a mean (SD) age of 16.3 (1.2) years, who responded to a classroom survey (School Health Promotion Study 2010-2011) in Finland. We found that even early steps in romantic and erotic experiences were associated with experiences of sexual harassment. The more advanced the adolescents' sexual experiences were, the more commonly they reported differing experiences of sexual harassment. These associations were particularly strong among the girls. Among the sexually active adolescents, the more partners the adolescents had for intercourse, the more commonly they reported experiences of sexual harassment. Adolescents actively interested in romantic and sexual relationships may socialize in contexts where sexual harassment is more likely to occur. They may be more sensitive to sexual cues than their non-interested peers, or sexual harassment may be a traumatic experience predisposing adolescents to risk-taking sexual behavior as a form of acting out. A double standard regarding the appropriate expression of sexuality received some support in our data.
遭受性骚扰与许多负面后果有关，例如内化和外化症状以及不愿意上学。在青少年中，随着他们新兴的性欲望的增加以及在青春期早期与异性混合的同龄人社交的增加，性骚扰可能会增加。我们着手研究青春期 14 至 18 岁青少年的规范和冒险性行为与遭受性骚扰之间可能存在的关联。信息提供者包括 90953 名男孩和 91746 名女孩，平均（SD）年龄为 16.3（1.2）岁，他们对芬兰的课堂调查（学校健康促进研究 2010-2011）做出了回应。我们发现，即使是浪漫和色情体验的早期阶段也与性骚扰经历有关。青少年性经验越先进，他们报告不同性骚扰经历的频率就越高。这些关联在女孩中尤为强烈。在性活跃的青少年中，青少年进行性交的伴侣越多，他们报告性骚扰经历的频率就越高。对浪漫和性关系积极感兴趣的青少年可能会在更有可能发生性骚扰的环境中社交。他们可能比不感兴趣的同龄人对性暗示更敏感，或者性骚扰可能是一种创伤性经历，使青少年倾向于冒险性行为作为一种表现形式。我们的数据在一定程度上支持了关于适当表达性行为的双重标准。
