1.2 Statement of Problem
Sexual harassment is
partly associated with assault, subjugation, coercion, discrimination
and victimization. Sexual harassment affects the psychological make-up
of its victims leaving them with emotional pains. This menace – sexual
harassment is a common phenomenon in tertiary institutions across the
globe, although in varying degrees. In Nigeria, government and school
authorities address the issue with levity. No concrete legislation has
been enacted to punish perpetrators of sexual harassment. Victims of
sexual harassment choose to keep quiet because they know their case will
be abandoned later on. Victims of sexual harassment often tend to live
in solitude, pains, resentment, depression and frustration as they
prefer to handle the issue with secrecy. This often makes the quality of
their social interaction poor. Often times, sexual harassment destroys
the level of social interaction of its victims.
Social intelligence
can be considered as a valuable skill that helps students to manage the
demanding nature of academics. Socially intelligent students tend to
combine non-academic activities with their academics, and still excel in
both. In addition, being socially intelligent does not only help
students to learn better but also make them expressive and articulate in
their communication with others. To the best of the researcher’s
knowledge, no studies have been investigated to examine the relationship
between sexual harassment, social intelligence and social interaction.
To this end, the study therefore attempts to examine the perceived
effects of sexual harassment and social intelligence on the social
interaction of serially frustrated undergraduates in Lagos State.
