N2  - The authors report on data showing evidence of both similarities and differences between Japanese and U.S. men regarding sexual harassment. Data indicate that there is substantial overlap in the traits and beliefs that predict a proclivity for sexual harassment in Japanese and U.S. men. However, Japanese men scored higher overall on sexual harassment proclivity, which was anticipated due to the relatively high degree of male dominance in Japan. Path analysis revealed that rape myth acceptance and a dimension of empathy (called personal distress) mediated this cross-cultural difference. The authors interpret the results as supporting the individual differences model of sexual harassment.<p />
