Women of color and white women's resistance to sexual harassment

My research study seeks to discover how women of Color and White women victims of sexual harassment respond to their harassment. My study uses a sample of the data collected by the Department of Defense for their 1995 study of sexual harassment in the military. Hierarchical log-linear models were specified to test situational, personal, and organizational factors as predictors of responses. The results showed that situational factors are the most important predictors; the personal and organizational factors were not found to be significant predictors. Also, women of Color and White women were found to have differences in the ways they responded to sexual harassment.
