The effect of three status characteristics on ratings of an elderly male andan elderly female: social variables
Article Abstract:
A study on the effect of age, gender and fashionability onimpressions of elderly people showed that such characteristics produced indicative reactions on ratings of social class, economic status, social distance, sociability and health. Fashionability, for instance, resulted in decreased social distance and higher ratings of social class and economic status. However, such reactions to fashionable clothing depended on the age of persons with whom the elderly person has interacted and on the gender of the elderly individual.

Extent and nature of sexual harassment in the fashion retail workplace
Article Abstract:
Sexual harassment is rampant in the fashion industry workplace and research to understand and remedy this is underway. Young and single women are invariably prone to abuse. A sexual abuse experience questionnaire was given to textile students, and 97 of the 132 respondents were found to have been harassed in several ways including gender harassment and seduction attempts. Women would be forearmed against harassment if taught to identify it and defend themselves against it.

Clothing and attributions concerning sexual harassment
Article Abstract:
The relationship between female clothing and attributions regarding sexual harassment was determined. The results showed that provoking sexual harassment was more likely when the woman was wearing provocative clothing as opposed to the one wearing nonprovocative clothing. These findings may prove useful in determining the validity of cases where a provocatively-appearing female has reported sexual harassment.
