Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Gender-based harassment is a pressing social challenge urgently demanding eradication. While social movements emphasize supporting victims, societal responses sometimes lean toward exculpating perpetrators. This study examines two factors influencing this exoneration: closeness to perpetrators and empathy focus.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 345 participants took part in an experimental design to assess how closeness to perpetrators (close vs. distant) and empathy focus (on the perpetrator vs. victim vs. control) impact the moral justification of harassment and the dehumanization of both parties.
UNASSIGNED: Results indicate that closeness and empathizing with perpetrators lead to greater leniency-more moral justification and less dehumanization of the perpetrator. Heightened moral justification for close perpetrators is mediated by increased empathy toward them and decreased empathy for victims, and reduced dehumanization of close perpetrators corresponds to heightened empathy toward them. This research highlights how closeness and empathy, two initially positive factors, can foster tolerance toward gender harassment.

摘要：
基于性别的骚扰是一项紧迫的社会挑战，迫切需要根除。虽然社会运动强调支持受害者，社会反应有时倾向于为肇事者开脱。这项研究考察了影响这种免责的两个因素：与肇事者的亲密关系和同理心。
■共有345名参与者参加了一项实验设计，以评估与肇事者的接近程度（接近与遥远)和同理心焦点(对肇事者和受害者与控制)影响骚扰的道德理由和双方的非人性化。
■结果表明，对肇事者的亲密和同情会导致更大的宽大处理-更多的道德辩护和对肇事者的非人化。对亲密肇事者的道德辩护是通过对他们的同理心增加和对受害者的同理心减少来调节的，减少对亲密肇事者的非人化对应于对他们的高度同情。这项研究强调了亲密和同情，两个最初的积极因素，可以促进对性别骚扰的宽容。
