Sexual harassment in the workplace is commonly portrayed as the male supervisor harassing female subordinates. Within this popular characterization, the unequal distribution of formal, organizational power is believed to be a necessary precondition for sexual harassment. The traditional cultural image of harassers and targets has however not kept pace with changing workplace realities. Research has indeed found that female supervisors may in fact be more likely to be subjects of sexual harassment. This article uses survey data from the Australian Public Service to explore this kind of contrapower harassment. Results indicate that a strong link between gender, workplace authority, and sexual harassment exists, but also that this relationship is strongly influenced by age.

“…People experiencing disabling conditions associated with AIDS, for example, may experience a host of interpersonal consequences that are a function of fears and beliefs about AIDS prevalent in that work environment. Holzbauer and Berven (1996) describe &dquo;disability harassment&dquo; as &dquo;the unwelcome bothering, tormenting, troubling, ridiculing, or coercing of another person related to the disability of that person and is composed of verbal behavior or gestures as distinguished from physical violence or force.&dquo; (p. 478). Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in 1993 and 1994 included 4,731 complaints of harassment, constituting 7.7% of the total number of complaints (Holzbauer & Berven, 1996).…”

Objective. This study investigates the relationship between involvement in bullying in childhood and adolescence and psychological difficulties in young adulthood. Materials and method. A total of 249 college students completed the Retrospective Bullying Questionnaire and Trauma Symptom Checklist. Results. The results showed significant differences in psychological adjustment among respondents who were exposed to bullying compared to respondents who were not exposed to bullying. Those exposed to bullying had significantly higher levels of anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and dissociative and traumatic symptoms compared to those who were not exposed to bullying. Respondents who were exposed to bullying in all three examined periods (the period from the first to fourth grade, the period from the fifth to eighth grade and the high school period) had higher scores on the subscale of dissociative symptoms and sexual trauma symptoms compared to respondents who were exposed through one or two periods. Victims abused in all three periods have more symptoms of anxiety and sleeping problems compared to the subjects exposed to bullying during one examination period. There were no differences in the level of depressive symptoms and sexual problems regarding the duration of bullying. Also, there were no differences in psychological adjustment between respondents who were bullied during one specific period. Conclusion. Bullying experiences in childhood and adolescence are connected with difficulties in psychological adjustment in young adulthood.
