The objective of the current study was to examine psychosocial maladjustment related to adolescents' appraisals of workplace sexual behavior. High school aged adolescents with formal work experience completed a survey containing a battery of scales. Descriptive statistics addressing frequency of exposure showed that 45% of adolescent men reported at least one incident of sexual behavior directed at them personally, and 24% of adolescent women reported the same. Results further indicated that adolescent men reporting a positive experience after being targeted by direct sexual behavior at work also showed signs of internal maladjustment, such as depression and anxiety. Gender role strain model, which suggests that the male adolescents experienced trauma when conforming to hyper-masculine norms that call for acceptance of sexual behavior, was offered to explain why male adolescents differed from female adolescents in associations between sexual behavior appraisal and maladjustment.
本研究的目的是考察与青少年对职场性行为的评估相关的心理社会适应不良情况。有正式工作经历的高中生完成了一项包含一系列量表的调查。关于接触频率的描述性统计显示，45%的青少年男性报告至少有一次针对他们个人的性行为事件，24%的青少年女性也报告了同样的情况。结果进一步表明，在职场中遭遇直接性行为后报告有积极体验的青少年男性也表现出内心适应不良的迹象，如抑郁和焦虑。提出了性别角色压力模型来解释为什么男性青少年在性行为评估与适应不良之间的关联上与女性青少年不同，该模型认为男性青少年在遵循要求接受性行为的超男性化规范时会经历创伤。
