One of the major gaps in research on the subject of sexual harassment is that there is very little information about the characteristics of sexual intruders. Sexual harassment is a conceptualized form of harassment based on gender, which has significant effects on victims. Women constitute about half of the population and face significant stress and sexual harassment on a daily basis in their lives. These lead to many psychological and sociological problems. This research provides an in-depth study of the main causes of sexual harassment that are primarily enacted by men.
This research has been carried out with the quantitative method using a survey technique. The statistical population includes the males between 18 to 30 years old in Sanandaj city. Quota sampling approach was used to collect the data. In this method, the population is first segmented into mutually exclusive sub-groups based on age. Then, a subset of each segment was selected based on a specified proportion and the filled questionnaires were finally analyzed and discussed. The descriptive results from a variety of harassments including technique verbal, visual, stalking, and physical harassment shows that only 18 out of 380 people did not commit any of these harassments. Moreover, The results of the multivariate analysis (logistic regression and path analysis) indicate that among the variables included in the analysis, variables related to the individual in the analysis such as age, being Traditional, being religious, gender, and the rate of cultural consumption affect sexual harassment.
