Abstract: We examined the predictors of women's decisions to confront or report sexual harassment from a sample of 802 employed women, 142 of whom indicated they had been sexually harassed. Analyses of variance showed that personal assertiveness predicted the decision to confront the harasser. In addition, perceived procedural justice was associated with reporting sexual harassment. However, the direction of this relationship was opposite from that predicted: women who had reported sexual harassment through formal channels manifested lower perceptions of justice.
