Young adults have become increasingly involved in political and social movements around sexual harassment. This involvement likely reflects political identity as well ideological beliefs about sexual harassment. We examined how young adults’ ideological beliefs and political party identity are associated with their tolerance of sexual harassment, support for the #MeToo movement and the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh. Tolerance for sexual harassment was positively associated with endorsement of rape myth acceptance, hostile and benevolent sexism, and was negatively associated with feminist identity, but not associated with gender or political party identity. In contrast, political party identity played an increasingly important role in predicting support for the #MeToo movement and the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh, such that those who strongly identify as Republican were more likely to support Justice Kavanaugh and not support the #MeToo movement. These findings suggest the #MeToo movement, and the confirmation decision are not perceived as entirely about sexual harassment but increasingly as political issues. Therefore, sexual harassment workplace or university trainings should consider addressing ideological factors. Additionally, in order for anti-sexual harassment laws to be supported by people of all political parties, it is important to frame the issue as nonpolitical.

谁支持#MeToo 和卡瓦诺确认?探索年轻人对性骚扰的容忍度

年轻人越来越多地参与有关性骚扰的政治和社会运动。这种参与可能反映了政治身份以及关于性骚扰的意识形态信仰。我们研究了年轻人的意识形态信仰和政党身份与他们对性骚扰的容忍度、对#MeToo运动的支持以及卡瓦诺大法官的确认之间的关系。对性骚扰的容忍度与对强奸神话的认可、敌对和仁慈的性别歧视呈正相关,与女权主义身份呈负相关,但与性别或政党身份无关。相比之下,政党身份在预测#MeToo运动的支持度和卡瓦诺大法官的确认方面发挥着越来越重要的作用,因此那些强烈认同共和党的人更有可能支持卡瓦诺大法官而不是支持#MeToo运动。这些调查结果表明,#MeToo 运动和确认决定并不完全被视为与性骚扰有关,而是越来越多地被视为政治问题。因此,工作场所或大学的性骚扰培训应考虑解决意识形态因素。此外,为了使反性骚扰法得到所有政党人士的支持,将问题界定为非政治性非常重要。
