Summary
Young adult women experience high rates of sexual victimization. This study introduces the Cyber Sexual Harassment Scale-Professor Student (CSHS-PS) to measure virtual sexual harassment by professors, offering a new research tool.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Education
Background:
- Young adult females face significant rates of sexual victimization, with cybersexual harassment being a growing concern.
- Existing research lacks assessment tools for cybersexual harassment specifically from professors to students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate the Cyber Sexual Harassment Scale-Professor Student (CSHS-PS).
- To provide a reliable instrument for measuring virtual sexual harassment in academic settings.
Main Methods:
- Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on a sample of 1,249 participants (aged 18-40).
- The Cyber Sexual Harassment Scale-Professor Student (CSHS-PS) was developed and validated.
Main Results:
- The CSHS-PS exhibited a robust two-factor structure: "Unwanted Interaction" and "Sharing with Others."
- The scale demonstrated confirmed reliability and validity for assessing online sexual harassment in academia.
Conclusions:
- The CSHS-PS is a promising tool for understanding and addressing cybersexual harassment by professors towards students.
- This validated scale will aid research and practice in educational settings, particularly concerning young women.

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

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.

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
