Woodzika discusses the current methods used to explore responses of harassment which include experimental analogues as well as retrospective reports and the weaknesses of these methods. For instance, a weakness of retrospective reports is that it may produce unreliable responses due to an unclear definition of what sexual harassment consists of. As a drawback of experimental analogues it is difficult to be confident the experiments are measuring how an individual would truly behave in the situation of sexual harassment but could just be measuring an individual’s beliefs on how they think they should respond. To develop a true assumption of women’s responses Woodzika conducted two studies, the first study consisted of women imagining there emotional and behavioral response to harassment in a job interview as in a study two consisted of measuring participants real responses in an experiment in which women were asked sexually harassing questions in an interview. The findings suggest that the way women think they would respond to sexual harassment and how they actually respond differ, with women believing they would respond angry but in the replication of a real-life situation of harassment women respond differently, being fearful and afraid. Woodzika also found that a Non Duchenne smile which involves mouth movement but not linked  to feelings  was used more by participants in study two than study one which Woodzika suggested this type of smile suggests accommodation or appeasement implying the women’s feeling of lower power 
Overall, the main finding suggested by the paper is that the believed response and real responses of women sexually harassed are very different.
