“…Consistent with a stress perspective, it is well established that experiencing SH in the workplace is associated with negative psychological distress outcomes and drinking behavior among adults (e.g., Richman et al, 1999; Rospenda, Richman, & Shannon, 2009). Similarly, among adolescents in school settings, SH has been related to future negative health outcomes such as psychological distress, including fear, anger, nervousness, and depression, nausea, sleeplessness, reduced academic satisfaction, and alcohol problems (Huerta, Cortina, Pang, Torges, & Magley, 2006; Monks, Tomaka, Palacios, & Thompson, 2010; van Roosmalen & McDaniel, 1998). …”

“…Whereas much research has focused on the consequences of SH, it is possible that alcohol use or psychological distress may predict future victimization (Gibb & Alloy, 2006; Gidycz, Loh, Lobo, Rich, Lynn, & Pashdag, 2007; Monks et al, 2010; Rothman & Silverman, 2007). Also, much of the work in which alcohol use or psychological distress has been conceptualized as a predictor variable has focused on sexual assault rather than SH.…”

Sexual harassment on college campuses is a frequent occurrence and serious public health concern. Victims of sexual harassment are at risk for many possible negative health consequences. In addition, certain psychological distress symptoms and/or alcohol use may put individuals at increased risk of being victims of sexual harassment. Data from over 2,000 college students in the Midwestern United States were used to examine reciprocal causal effects of the relations between (1) experiencing sexual harassment and alcohol use and (2) experiencing sexual harassment and psychological distress symptoms, specifically depression and anger/hostility. Analyses were conducted separately for sexual harassment that occurs at school and that occurs in college students’ workplaces and also separately for men and women. Results of cross-lagged panel models showed that there were reciprocal causal effects between sexual harassment and alcohol problems, depression, and anger. Discussion focuses on the overall patterns of results as well as the nuances within these findings.

“…Some cross-sectional research has also looked at experiences of SH in college students, finding an association between SH and psychological distress (Huerta et al, 2006; Reilly et al, 1986; Till, 1980; van Roosmalen and McDaniel, 1998) and between SH and alcohol use (Monks et al, 2010). College students may be an especially vulnerable population for several reasons: young men and women are interacting with relatively little supervision, college is a transitional time when identities and social networks are disrupted and fluctuating, and alcohol use tends to increase (Arnett, 2000; Clodfelter et al, 2010; Till, 1980).…”

A two-part latent growth mixture model was implemented in order to examine heterogeneity in the growth of sexual harassment (SH) victimization in college and university students, and the extent to which SH class membership explains substance use and mental health outcomes for certain groups of students. Demographic risk factors, mental health, and substance use were examined as they related to chronically experienced SH victimization. Incoming freshmen students (N = 2855; 58% female; 54% White) completed a survey at five time points. In addition to self-reporting gender, race, and sexual orientation, students completed measures of sexual harassment, anxiety, depression, binge drinking, and marijuana use. Overall, self-reported SH declined upon college entry, although levels rebounded by the third year of college. Results also supported a two-class solution (Infrequent and Chronic) for SH victimization. Being female, White, and a sexual minority were linked to being classified into the Chronic (relative to the Infrequent) SH class. In turn, Chronic SH class membership predicted greater anxiety, depression, and substance use, supporting a mediational model.

“…Recent research has found, however, that fraternity and sports membership has more of an indirect effect based upon those groups' emphasis on maintaining secrecy and peer pressure as related to sexual behaviors (Franklin, Bouffard, & Pratt, 2012). Alcohol consumption, closely associated with fraternity and sorority participation, has also been found to be a significant predictor of sexual victimization (Monks, Tomaka, Palacios, & Thompson, 2010).…”

Our research examines the possible association of sexual orientation and self-reported sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner psychological abuse, and intimate partner physical abuse of college students from a northeastern university in the United States. Understanding the prevalence of these behaviors within this age group is important, as developing appropriate college policy to reduce these actions at this time may be beneficial for future prevention. This study also allows for one of the few true comparisons between those students who identified as sexual minority and non-sexual minority college students 1 . A total of 1881 college students were surveyed. Classes were randomly selected and surveys were administered to students in those classes. Gender specific models were also analyzed to examine if the relationship between sexual orientation and victimization differs for males and females. The results from the analyses support the prediction that sexual minority students were more likely to report all four types of victimization than non-sexual minority students. Sexual minority students were about four times more likely to report sexual assault, two times more likely to report sexual harassment and physical abuse, and about 1.5 times more likely to report psychological abuse. Sexual minority males were more likely to report sexual assault (nine times), sexual harassment (3.5 times), and physical abuse (twice as likely). Sexual minority females were about twice as likely to report sexual assault, physical abuse, and psychological abuse.
