Measuring Workplace Sexual Harassment: A Review
- Abstract:
- Measurement is a key challenge in studying sexual harassment. People's understanding of harassment varies across cultural and legal contexts, and there are many factors contributing to under‐reporting. We review the psychology literature on the measurement of sexual harassment and assess the techniques employed in economics in this light. Using an online survey of the US workers, we show that survey methods that provide explicit behavioral examples or detailed definitions of sexual harassment identify higher prevalence rates, especially for black workers and men. We show that measures of the willingness to pay to avoid harassment vary according to which behaviors are specified.
