Sexual harassment among primary school students

Abstract

The current research aims to:

• Measuring sexual harassment among primary school students.
• Knowing the significance of the differences in sexual harassment among primary school students according to gender (males - females).

In order to achieve this, the researcher built a scale of sexual harassment based on the definition of the researcher (Al Sayeed, 2004). The scale consists of (30) paragraphs in the style of declarative statements, and in front of each paragraph there are five progressive alternatives for the answer, which are (always, often, sometimes, rarely, never) which are given the scores (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) respectively for positive paragraphs and in reverse for negative paragraphs.

 After verifying the accuracy of the psychometric properties of the research scales and their paragraphs, the two research scales were applied to the research sample, which amounted to (200) male and female students who were selected by the stratified random method, and the data was analyzed using the (SPSS) statistical package for social sciences, and the results showed the following:

First: There is no sexual harassment among primary school students.

Second: There are no statistically significant differences in sexual harassment according to the gender variable (males - females).
