Political ideology has been linked to beliefs regarding sexual harassment and assault (SH&A). Using data from the January 2018 Stop Street Sexual Harassment online poll ( = 2,009), this study examined associations of political identity and political ideology with self-reported experiences of being the victim of SH&A. SH&A experiences were coded into four mutually exclusive groups: none, non-physically aggressive harassment, physically aggressive harassment, or sexual assault. Sex-stratified logistic regression models assessed associations of interest, adjusting for participant demographics. Among women, more conservative political ideology was negatively associated with reports of sexual assault, odds ratio () = 0.85, 95% confidence interval () = [0.74, 0.98]. Among males, more conservative political ideology was negatively associated with reports of physically aggressive sexual harassment ( = 0.85, 95% = [0.73, 0.98]), and greater Republican affiliation was negatively associated with reports of sexual assault ( = 0.82, 95% = [0.68, 0.99]). Conservative and Republican women and men are thus less likely to report more severe forms of SH&A, which may explain differences in beliefs on these issues. Research is needed to determine if political differences are due to reporting biases or differential vulnerabilities.
政治意识形态与人们对性骚扰和性侵犯（SH&A）的看法有关。本研究利用 2018 年 1 月“停止街头性骚扰”在线调查（=2009）的数据，研究了政治认同和政治意识形态与自我报告的 SH&A 受害经历之间的关联。将 SH&A 经历分为四个互斥的组别：无、非身体攻击的骚扰、身体攻击的骚扰和性侵犯。按性别分层的逻辑回归模型评估了相关关联，同时调整了参与者的人口统计学特征。在女性中，更保守的政治意识形态与性侵犯报告呈负相关，优势比（OR）=0.85，95%置信区间（CI）=[0.74, 0.98]。在男性中，更保守的政治意识形态与身体攻击性性骚扰报告呈负相关（OR=0.85，95%CI=[0.73, 0.98]），共和党人的党派关系与性侵犯报告呈负相关（OR=0.82，95%CI=[0.68, 0.99]）。因此，保守派和共和党派的女性和男性不太可能报告更严重形式的 SH&A，这可能解释了他们在这些问题上的看法差异。需要进一步研究以确定政治差异是否归因于报告偏差或不同的脆弱性。
