dc.description.abstractThis research was concerned with perceptions of sexual harassment and how they relate to gender role attitudes, self-esteem, gender, and age among a sample of young Lebanese students. The researcher also wanted to form an idea of the level of awareness on the issue in the three targeted Lebanese universities and the way these universities deal with sexual harassment. A questionnaire with three scales was filled out by 150 undergraduate university students, and interviews were conducted with university administrators and deans. Positive and significant correlations were found to exist between perceptions of sexual harassment on one side and gender role attitudes and age on the other. A significant difference was proven to exist between female and male students in how they perceive sexual harassment. A significant correlation between the egalitarian gender role subscale and perceptions of sexual harassment was also found. The results of this study could be used in universities and schools to design clearer definitions of sexual harassment. One of the clinical implications of the study would be to work on a certain level of gender role attitudes with individuals who have low perceptions of sexual harassment.
