Male and female university students from the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Ecuador, Pakistan, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Turkey read a standardized scenario in which a male professor was accused of sexually harassing a female graduate student. Respondents from individualist countries judged the professor to be guilty of sexual harassment more often than did those from collectivist countries. Women rendered significantly more guilty judgments and assigned more severe punishments to the accused professor than did men. Implications for the individualist-collectivist classification system and cross-cultural research are discussed.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the reported patterns of sexual violence against women and children in China. It reviews the prevalence of and risk factors for various types of sexual violence and discusses community knowledge and perceptions of these violent acts. It also critically examines three major problems of sexual violence research in China. First, the diversity of findings and study methods reported by surveys and criminal reports reflects the problems in obtaining accurate figures on the scope of the problem. Second, precautions must be taken in reading studies on Chinese culture-specific risk factors for domestic violence. Third, the study of culture-specific factors should not focus solely on cultural factors in a vacuum but rather, should examine traditional culture in the context of modern societies and consensus international standards of human rights. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.

“…University students are seen as more open, willing to talk about sexual matters more freely, and are less affected by temporal and recall bias (Finkelhor, Hotaling, & Yllo, 1989: Tang, Yik, Cheung, Choi, & Au, 1996. The study will also investigate the nature of the abuse; assessing the age of the victim, the duration of the abuse, type of perpetrators involved, the amount of force or persuasion involved, as well as the perceived causes of child sexual abuse.…”
