Sexual Harassment and the Developing Sense of Self Among Adolescent Girls
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Girls encounter various forms of violence as a common part of their everyday lives. In recognition of the obstacles and challenges faced by this population, a multiphased national action study was conducted by the Alliance of Five Research Centres on Violence*. The primary focus was to examine how violence becomes normalized in the lives of girls. In this paper, we present findings from the Ontario component of the project with particular attention to sexual harassment as it is experienced and understood by girls. Findings reveal that sexual harassment occurs in a highly public manner; it is supported and condoned in subtle and explicit ways; and through its enactment, girls are continually silenced and their sense of selves diminished. Implications for counselors working with this population, and strategies for encouraging and affirming healthy resistance, are discussed. *The Alliance of Five Research Centres on Violence consists of: The FREDA Centre in Vancouver, BC; the RESOLVE Centre in Winnipeg, MB, Saskatoon, SK and Calgary, AL; the Centre for Research on Violence Against Women and Children in London, ON; the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre in Fredericton, NB; and the CRI-VIFF in Sainte-Foy, QC.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
