Abstract :
[en] Stranger harassment is defined as gender based harassment in public spaces. Despite its frequency and its detrimental consequences, research has barely begun to address this phenomenon. Stranger harassment is in the eye of the beholder. Gender differences and contextual factors are decisive for its interpretation (Fairchild, 2010; Rotundo, Nguyen and Sackett, 2001). The aim of this study is to estimate contextual factors of stranger harassment and more precisely to examine the influence of gender identities and gender roles on perception and tolerance of stranger harassment within a population of young women and men aged 18-35. Two methods of data collection are used, a paper questionnaire and an on-line questionnaire. The sample should include more than 600 subjects. Participants are surveyed regarding their global life satisfaction (Satisfaction With Life Scale, Diener et al., 1985), personal experiences of stranger harassment (Sexual Experience Questionnaire, Fairchild, 2010) and the context of occurrence and the consequences of those experiences on several aspects of their life. Acceptation and tolerance of sexual harassment (Sexual Harassment Attitude Scale, Mazer et Percival, 1989), identification to gender roles (short French version of Bem Sex-Roles Inventory, Fontayne et al., 2000) and experiences of sexual victimization are also addressed. Results will provide us an overview of stranger harassment and its occurrence. Some risk factors may be identified, as experiences of sexual victimization that may influence tolerance of stranger harassment. Furthermore, the influence of gender roles and gender identities may be crucial for the understanding of stranger harassment as a gender based behavior
