Exploring Missing Values on Responses to Experienced and Labeled Event as Harassment in 2004 Reserves Data

Abstract

Using data from the "Armed Forces 2002 Sexual Harassment Survey," this paper analyzed the extent to which respondents refused to report experiences of sexual harassment (i.e., the responses were missing for that question). Specifically, the total percentages reporting personally experiencing sexual harassment were compared to the percentage of missing cases for that question. Data was then aggregated to the unit level and quartiles based on percentages reporting sexist behavior in their units were created. Finally, the level of reported sexist behavior was compared to the percentages with missing values on the sexual harassment question. Data analysis revealed that the units in the worst quartile (i.e., highest reports of sexist behavior) had the most missing responses on the sexual harassment question.
