TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - International Perspectives on Sexual Harassment of College Students JO - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences A1 - Paludi, Michele A1 - Nydegger, Rudy A1 - DeSouza, Eros A1 - Nydegger, Liesl A1 - Dicker, Kelsey Allen SP - 103 EP - 120 VL - 1087 IS - 1 N2 - Abstract: The incidence, psychological dimensions, reporting, and impact of sexual harassment of college students throughout the world are reviewed. Special attention is paid to methodological constraints in conducting cross-cultural research in sexual harassment, including difficulty in securing research participants, different methodologies to collect incidence data, use of retrospective data, and varying, definitions of sexual harassment. Recommendations for implementing intervention programs are offered. The strategies suggested deal with the social causes that maintain the harassment, including renegotiating the balance of power between men and women.
