Sexuálne obťažovanie v škole – teoretické vymedzenie a zistenia výskumnej štúdie na Slovensku

Sexual harassment at school is neglected topic. First step in its research is mapping its forms and occurrence. Based on this knowledge we aim to find out if gender has significant impact in the experience of harassment and its evaluation in different contexts of various relationships. We were interested about experienced forms of sexual harassment and its normative evaluation in different relationships with students and teachers as participants. We were focused on harassment between students (with respect to gender), on harassment of students by teachers and contrariwise. We identified gender differences in actor–victim configuration. A new instrument – a questionnaire created by the authors – was administered to high school teachers and students. Results show the most frequent gender-related forms of sexual harassment, and confirm relationship between experiences with harassment and its consequent evaluation.
