Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objectives: The current research aimed to explore the mechanism behind sexual harassment experiences and views on marriage and love (ML) among Chinese college students. Methods: 424 college students were recruited to complete the questionnaires about sexual harassment experiences (SH), subjective social status (SES), sexual knowledge (SK), and their views on ML. Results: The results of the moderated mediation model showed a negative association between SH and views on ML, explained through the mediating effect of SK. The negative moderating effect of SES between SH and SK was also found. Conclusion: The findings provide implications for supporting college students who have experienced SH in navigating their future romantic relationships, with the consideration of varied SES backgrounds.
