Research on sexual harassment has recently expanded to include examination of men's experiences. Such research, however, has ignored the power dynamics involved in sexual harassment and typically assumed exclusively heterosexual situations. We examine legal cases illustrating the many forms that male-male harassment may take and the complex array of situations in which such harassment occurs. We then report the frequencies of experiences of harassment in three large samples of working men as well as the sex of the perpetrators of the harassment. Finally, we examine men's evaluations of these situations to determine the degree to which they found them to be harassing in a psychological sense. Our results indicate that men experience potentially sexually harassing behaviors from other men at least as often as they do from women; however, men in all samples reported relatively few negative reactions to these experiences. Future research should examine the predictors and outcomes of such situations to clarify the meaning of such behavior for male targets.
近期，关于性骚扰的研究范围已扩大至涵盖对男性经历的考察。然而，此类研究忽略了性骚扰中涉及的权力动态，且通常仅假定为异性恋情境。我们审视了一些法律案例，这些案例展现了男男性骚扰可能呈现的多种形式以及此类骚扰发生的复杂多样的情境。接着，我们报告了来自三个大型在职男性样本中的骚扰经历频率以及骚扰者的性别。最后，我们考察男性对这些情境的评估，以确定他们在心理层面认为这些情境具有骚扰性的程度。我们的研究结果表明，男性遭受其他男性潜在性骚扰行为的频率至少与遭受女性性骚扰的频率相同；然而，所有样本中的男性对这些经历的负面反应相对较少。未来的研究应考察此类情境的预测因素和结果，以阐明这种行为对男性受害者的意义。
