Type: article

Abstract: As harassment, such as power harassment and sexual harassment, in competitive sports in Japan has become a serious social problem in recent years, there is a need to develop educational approaches to protect the integrity of athletes.This study developed educational materials to promote awareness regarding harassment issues among top athletes and verify the effectiveness of these materials.To help athletes more objectively understand their behavior and be more aware of what might be perceived as harassment, teaching materials on "sexual harassment" and "power harassment" situations were developed to educate them on perception differences.Then, a training session was conducted with top athletes to evaluate the teaching materials and pre-and post-questionnaire surveys were conducted for individual and group events.As a result, the analysis found significant differences in the mean scores surveys for "awareness of sexual harassment and power harassment" in both individual and group events.In addition, significant differences were found in "relevance of sexual harassment and power harassment to oneself" in the individual category.This suggesting that these materials had raised the athletes' awareness of the parties involved in harassment issues.
