Despite a growing body of work on sexual harassment among college students, little work has examined predictors of sexual harassment specifically among graduate students. This study aims to address this gap in the literature by using data from 490 female graduate students at a large, public university. Based on a feminist routine activity theory approach, both individual vulnerability (lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or other sexual identity [LGBQ+], international student status, psychological distress, alcohol use) and organizational context (departmental female ratio, male-dominated field, departmental support) are tested as risk factors for sexual harassment. Moreover, we examine risks for sexual harassment by either a peer or a professor before testing models for peer and faculty member harassment separately. Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that both individual vulnerability and organizational context are related to an increased likelihood of sexual harassment among female graduate students, but patterns of findings vary by type of offender. Policy recommendations are offered, including the need for safe spaces on campus for LGBQ+ and international students and the need for clear consequences for offenders of sexual harassment.

个人脆弱性和组织背景是女研究生性骚扰的风险

尽管在大学生中有关性骚扰的工作在不断增加,但很少有工作检查过性骚扰的预测因素,特别是在研究生中。这项研究旨在通过使用来自大型公立大学的490名女研究生的数据来解决文献中的这一差距。基于女权主义的日常活动理论方法,既要考虑个人脆弱性(女同性恋,男同性恋,双性恋,同性恋或其他性认同[LGBQ +],国际学生身份,心理困扰,酗酒)和组织背景(部门女性比例,男性占主导地位)现场,部门支持)作为性骚扰的风险因素进行了测试。此外,在分别测试同伴和教职员工骚扰的模型之前,我们检查同伴或教授的性骚扰风险。Logistic回归分析表明,女性脆弱性和组织环境都与女研究生发生性骚扰的可能性增加有关,但调查结果的类型因犯罪者的类型而异。提供了政策建议,包括需要为LGBQ +和国际学生在校园内提供安全的空间,以及对性骚扰罪犯有明确后果的需要。
