Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
Workplace sexual harassment can be conceptualized as a series of interactions between harassers and targets that either inhibit or increase outrage by third parties. The outrage management model predicts the kinds of actions likely to be used by perpetrators to minimize outrage, predicts the consequences of failing to use these tactics, and recommends countertactics to increase outrage.
Using an exisiting qualitative data set comprising descriptions of actual sexual harassment cases, this study will contribute to understandings of the role of individual responses in effectively reducing the incidence and impact of workplace sexual harassment as a gendered harm.
