Sexual harassment is largely experienced by working women and students and it is common especially in educational institutes. This research aimed to find out the gender differences and prevalence of students' attribution of responsibility for sexual harassment. It was a survey based quantitative research with purposive and convenient sample of 500 university students enrolled in two public (Quaid-i-Azam university and Arid Agriculture university) and two private universities (Foundation and Bahria university), Time period of study was from September to October 2018. Of total 500 participants, 204 (40.8%) were males and 296 (59.2%) were females. In all 390 (78%, d=.47) participants gave responsibility to women for sexual harassment while only 110 (22%) reported that men are responsible for sexual harassment. High prevalence of attribution of sexual harassment towards women were found. Men blamed women for sexual harassment as indicated by high mean score achieved on t-test analysis. Prevalence of such phenomenon was not explored previously for student population and also, this study can serve as a very strong basis for planning relevant intervention programmes that focus more on perpetrator instead of victims of sexual harassment.
职业女性和学生遭受性骚扰的情况较为普遍，在教育机构中尤为常见。本研究旨在探究学生对性骚扰责任归因的性别差异及普遍程度。这是一项基于调查的定量研究，采用立意抽样和便利抽样的方法，选取了500名就读于两所公立大学（真纳大学和干旱农业大学）和两所私立大学（基金会大学和巴哈里亚大学）的大学生作为样本。研究时间段为2018年9月至10月。在总共500名参与者中，204名（40.8%）为男性，296名（59.2%）为女性。在所有参与者中，390名（78%，效应量d = 0.47）认为女性应对性骚扰负责，而只有110名（22%）报告称男性应对性骚扰负责。研究发现，将性骚扰责任归咎于女性的情况非常普遍。t检验分析得出的高平均分表明，男性将性骚扰归咎于女性。此前尚未对学生群体中这种现象的普遍程度进行过探究，而且，本研究可为制定更侧重于性骚扰实施者而非受害者的相关干预计划提供有力依据。
