Abstract: | This study was designed to examine personal, stimulus, and organizational factors that predict the self-labeling of sexual
harassment. Hypotheses were developed based on the social cognitive schema framework, which suggests that the activation of
a victim's schema of sexual harassment influences self-labeling incidents as sexual harassment. Results of a secondary analysis
of the 1995 Department of Defense Gender Issues dataset generally supported the hypotheses in that self-labeling is a multi-faceted process. Several findings were in the
opposite direction from that predicted (e.g., perceptions that the military was implementing sexual harassment policies were
negatively associated with self-labeling). Alternative explanations for the complexity of the self-labeling process were also
examined.
