The phenomenon of adolescent sexual harassment is a topic that has taken on special relevance in recent decades. However, general consensus regarding its nature, prevalence and dimensions has yet to emerge. This study used a representative sample of 3,489 Andalusian adolescents from the second stage of Compulsory Secondary Education (E.S.O.) and the Spanish Baccalaureate (), and it is primarily focused on two main objectives: to test the factor structure of the "sexual harassment" scale in boys and girls, and to analyze the prevalence of hte sexual harassment among adolescent students. Descriptive analyses and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed, allowing us to explore the nature of the phenomenon and to describe its prevalence. The results obtained revealed a two-dimensional structure of this scale in both boys and girls: one dimension reflecting visual-verbal forms of sexual harassment and the second dimension including physical forms. Regarding to prevalence, the outcomes shown a high prevalence of sexual harassment involvement across both sexes during adolescence. However, boys were more involved in victimization and aggression than girls. The importance of analyzing the phenomenon in greater depth is also highlighted.
青少年性骚扰现象是近几十年来具有特殊重要性的一个话题。然而,关于其性质、普遍性和范围的普遍共识尚未形成。本研究使用了来自义务中等教育第二阶段(E.S.O.)和西班牙学士学位课程的3489名安达卢西亚青少年的代表性样本,主要关注两个主要目标:检验男孩和女孩中“性骚扰”量表的因子结构,以及分析青少年学生中性骚扰的普遍性。进行了描述性分析和验证性因子分析(CFA),使我们能够探究该现象的本质并描述其普遍性。所得结果显示,该量表在男孩和女孩中均呈现二维结构:一个维度反映性骚扰的视觉 - 言语形式,第二个维度包括身体形式。关于普遍性,结果表明青春期两性中性骚扰参与率都很高。然而,男孩比女孩更多地成为受害者和实施侵害行为。同时也强调了更深入分析该现象的重要性。
