| This chapter describes a series of studies designed to investigate the hypothesis that men who tend to misperceive women's friendly, outgoing behavior as a sign of sexual interest or availability are more likely to endorse and ultimately engage in sexual harassment of women. With minor exceptions, the data reported do not support this hypothesis. Whether male subjects responded to statements that reflect callous attitudes and sexually aggressive behavior toward women, or reacted to videotaped or written portrayals of other men engaging in behaviors that might be construed as sexual harassment, the men in these studies who were more prone to misperceiving women's friendly behaviors as "sexy" were generally not more likely to respond or react in ways that reflected tolerance for or endorsement of men who sexually harass women. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings for advancing our understanding and facilitating the elimination of sexual harassment are discussed. | |
