“…To this end, Vogt, Bruce, Street, and Stafford (2007) surveyed more than 2,000 reservists and national guards and found that poorer attitudes toward women predicted tolerance of sexual harassment and were more likely in men, ethnic majority members, and Marines. An earlier study revealed an association between negative attitudes toward women, including a lack of acceptance of women as equals in the Army, and tolerance of sexual harassment (Rosen & Martin, 1998b).…”

Military sexual trauma (MST) is a widespread problem associated with negative psychological and physical health problems. This article presents the current state of MST research and highlights specific areas in need of more focused study. Areas that have produced the greatest body of knowledge include MST prevalence and psychological and physical health correlates. We propose a research agenda based on gaps noted in our research review and empirical and theoretical evidence of issues relevant to but not studied directly in MST populations. We present evidence that MST is qualitatively distinct from other forms of sexual maltreatment in terms of its relational and vocational context as well as the severity of associated psychological distress, examine underexplored gender and sexual issues in MST, and discuss the lack of treatment and prevention studies specific to MST. Specific recommendations are made throughout in an attempt to guide and advance the field.

“…According to this perspective, SH occurs in maledominated workplaces because a woman's gender is a salient, singular and distinctive feature, while in female-dominated work environments, her sex role becomes a more salient feature than her work role (Gutek and Morasch 1982). Vogt et al (2007) suggest that male-dominated work settings are rife for SH because they place a high value on masculine qualities such as power, toughness, dominance, aggressiveness and competitiveness -settings in which women may disrupt the masculine camaraderie that infuses the culture. In such settings, women and ethnic minority groups are perceived as organizational interlopers, potentially reducing the benefits that belong to the hegemonic group (white males), thereby triggering higher rates of harassment (Bergman and Henning 2008).…”

Despite its proscription in legal jurisdictions around the world, workplace sexual harassment (SH) continues to be experienced by many women and some men in a variety of organizational settings. The aims of this review article are threefold: first, with a focus on workplace SH as it pertains to management and organizations, to synthesize the accumulated state of knowledge in the field; second, to evaluate this evidence, highlighting competing perspectives; and third, to canvass areas in need of further investigation. Variously ascribed through individual (psychological or legal consciousness) frameworks, sociocultural explanations and organizational perspectives, research consistently demonstrates that, like other forms of sexual violence, individuals who experience workplace SH suffer significant psychological, health‐ and job‐related consequences. Yet they often do not make formal complaints through internal organizational procedures or to outside bodies. Laws, structural reforms and policy initiatives have had some success in raising awareness of the problem and have shaped rules and norms in the employment context. However, there is an imperative to target further workplace actions to effectively prevent and respond to SH.

Attitudinal support for violence against women: What a population‐level survey of the Australian community can and cannot tell us

Violence against women (VAW) is a serious and prevalent problem globally. Societal-level norms, practices and structures are among the factors contributing to it, sometimes referred to collectively as representing "cultures of support" for VAW. Understanding factors contributing to these cultures is important for prevention, but remains the subject of debate. Population-level surveys of attitudes toward VAW are one means to strengthen this understanding.Although there are a number of such surveys internationally, scholarly research based on secondary analysis of data, at least from surveys in high-income countries, is scant. This article reports on new analyses of the Australian National Community Attitudes Towards Violence AgainstWomen survey to explore its potential to further empirical and conceptual understanding of cultures of support for VAW. To facilitate this, a scale to measure attitudes toward VAW was developed post hoc from the survey (the Violence Supportive Attitudes, or VSA-18, Scale). Subsequent analyses investigate the relationship between this scale and relevant demographic factors and a measure of attitudinal support for gender equality (GE). The GE measure, place of birth, employment and occupation, generation, education and sex contribute to variance in the VSA-18 Scale. Findings are discussed in the context of theoretical debates and directions for future research.
