Abstract
Objectives
In this paper, we explore if Donald Trump’s electoral success in 2016 led to heightened levels of stress for sexual harassment survivors.
Methods
Logistic regression models predicting voter stress using original survey data collected in the weeks following the 2016 election were utilized.
Results
We find that women survivors of sexual harassment experienced elevated stres when compared to women who were never harassed.
Conclusion
Female survivors of sexual harassment may be concerned that their well-being was under attack due to the triumph of hostile sexism.
