| dc.description.abstract | Workplace sexual harassment has become a widespread problem in American society. Verdicts in workplace sexual harassment cases are often determined by a jury’s interpretation of the facts. One element that may bias the perception of jurors is gender. This literature review will examine empirical research regarding gender and sexual harassment within and outside of a legal context. Studies outside a legal context will present general conclusions on gender differences in sexual harassment perceptions. Mock juror studies on sexual harassment will examine whether these gender differences appear within a legal context. These studies will provide conclusions on how juror, plaintiff, and defendant gender may influence juror verdict outcomes in workplace sexual harassment cases. Explanations for these findings will be examined. Limitations of the current literature and directions for future research will also be discussed. | en_US |
