Summary
A new psychosexual harassment questionnaire was developed and validated to identify physical, sexual, sexual-virtual, and verbal harassment among university students. This reliable tool aids in assessing harassment experiences and informing interventions for psychological well-being.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Public Health
Background:
- Physical and sexual harassment have significant psychological impacts.
- Valid measurement tools are crucial for intervention and societal screening.
- Existing measures lack native, multidimensional approaches to psychosexual harassment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To design and validate a psychosexual harassment questionnaire.
- To create a native, multidimensional instrument for assessing harassment.
- To provide a tool for identifying and quantifying psychosexual harassment experiences.
Main Methods:
- Applied and descriptive research design.
- Multi-stage cluster sampling of 600 university students (aged 18-30) in Hamadan.
- Utilized a researcher-made 27-item psychosexual harassment questionnaire and the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale.
Main Results:
- A 25-item questionnaire was finalized after removing two items.
- Four factors identified: sexual, physical, sexual-virtual, and verbal harassment, explaining 58% of the variance.
- High reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91) and factor loadings confirmed validity.
Conclusions:
- The validated questionnaire is a reliable tool for measuring four types of psychosexual harassment.
- Researchers can use this instrument for screening and intervention planning.
- Clinicians can utilize the detailed information for patient assessment and treatment, particularly for related disorders.

The genital stage is the final phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, beginning at puberty, around age 12. During this stage, sexual energy shifts from self-focused interests to external individuals, marking the development of mature adult sexuality. Freud saw this phase as a time of sexual reawakening, with desires directed toward others outside the family. A healthy transition into this stage, according to Freud, signifies the emergence of two key aspects of adult...

Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory of development suggests that early childhood experiences significantly shape personality and behavior. Freud proposed that development is discontinuous, occurring in five distinct stages, each defined by a focus on different erogenous zones. He believed that failure to resolve the conflicts specific to each stage successfully could result in fixation, potentially influencing behavior as adults.

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

1.5K
Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development describes the anal stage as occurring between 18 months and three years of age. During this period, children derive pleasure from controlling and releasing their bowel movements. However, they quickly learn that societal expectations impose restrictions on when and where this can happen. This stage marks a critical point where children begin to develop a sense of control and mastery over their bodily functions, as well as their broader...
