The explosion of interest and research in sexual harassment, much of it dating to the 1990s and early 2000s, continues to demonstrate that its parameters are broader and more pervasive than originally thought. Women and girls are harassed not only in their workplaces and universities (Fitzgerald et al., 1988; Rospenda, Richman, & Shannon, 2009), but also by strangers in public (Davidson, Butchko, Robbins, Sherd, & Gervais, 2016), by landlords in their homes and apartments (Reed, Collinsworth, & Fitzgerald, 2005; Tester, 2008), by teachers and peers in high schools (Hill & Kearl, 2011), and even in middle schools (Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, 1999; Espelage, Hong, Rinehart, & Doshi, 2016). Nurses are harassed by physicians (Williams, 1996) and female physicians by patients (Phillips & Schneider, 1993), service workers by customers (Gettman & Gelfand, 2007), hotel maids by guests (Kensbock, Bailey, Jennings, & Patiar, 2015), and female inmates by correctional officers (Bell et al., 1999). Harassment reaches down into middle schools, where it blends into more general bullying, and up the age scale into nursing homes (Levine, 2003), where it is characterized as “elder abuse,” thus obscuring its often sexual nature. Technology continues to provide new methods and venues for harassment (eg, cell phones, video games, the Internet, untraceable message services; Barak, 2005), whereas the pervasive sexualization of youth culture, concomitant change in gendered sexual norms, and even the emergence of sexualized forms of nonsex work have rendered the models, as well as mores, of the last decade increasingly irrelevant. It is with some regret that we limit our present review to the classic issue of sexual harassment in work organizations. The reasons for this choice are many; as always, practicality and issues of space loom large; equally important, however, is the fact that the sheer heterogeneity and complexity that have emerged across the last three decades humbles any attempt at comprehensive summary, much less “grand theory.” Such a project, though desirable and possibly ripe, is far too ambitious to be attempted here (see Chapter 9, this volume).(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
