What is your experience?

Stop Street Harassment ally Dr. Kimberly Fairchild is conducting another study relevant to street harassment.  She needs your help! Please take her anonymous survey and share your experiences.

“I am conducting a psychological experiment involving judging other people’s attributes and perspective taking. Our research suggests that even from limited information people can make accurate judgments about the dominant traits, emotional reactions, and behaviors of other
people.  The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete.  If you are
interested in participating, follow the link below.”

Academic Study on Street Harassment

By

Dr. Kimberly Fairchild is one of the few academics studying street harassment. Check out her article from 2008, written with Laurie A. Rudman: “Everyday stranger harassment and women’s self-objectification” in Social Justice Research, 21(3), 338-357. Her article is based on research she conducted at Rutgers University about street harassment and its relationship to women’s self-objectification. In a one-sentence summary, she examined the question: if men objectify women in public, are the women likely to internalize that view of themselves and objectify themselves?

Currently, she’s examining whether or not changes in context alter women’s responses to street harassment and she’s also studying women’s emotional responses. She’s conducting an online survey as part of her research and is working to gather more responses, especially from men (for contrast). Please take it and share the link. Thanks!
