A 28 item Eysenck personality questionnaire of yes or no options were used to measure personality of participants. While a fifteen items yes/no options questionnaire were used in measuring physical attractiveness and a 14 item five points likert type questionnaire was used to measure participants’ experience of sexual harassment.
A pilot study was conducted before the main study to establish the reliability of the items. Personality had a coefficient of .66; while physical attractiveness yielded a cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of .62 while sexual harassment scale had a cronbach’s alpha reliability of .79.
A cross sectional research design was conducted in which 300 copies of questionnaire were distributed and collected and were used for the study.

2. There will be no statistically significant difference between physical attractiveness and sexual harassment.
3. There will be no statistically significant difference between gender and sexual harassment.
Hypothesis I had regression coefficient result of (r= .32, p<.05) while hypothesis II had regression coefficient result of (r= 74; p<.05) and hypothesis III had regression coefficient result of (r= .29, p<.01)
The implications, recommendation and conclusion of the study were also discussed.
