Abstrakt:	Sexual harassment has received recent attention related to the #MeToo Movement. Due to public focus on perceptions of accusers and accused, we explored predictors of derogation of both. Participants (n = 146) completed measures of moral values, empathy, derogation, sociosexuality, political ideology, belief in a just world, religiosity, sex guilt and responded to an open-ended question about the #MeToo Movement. Multiple regression indicated that the best predictor of derogating either the accuser or accused is lower empathy toward that person and greater empathy toward the other. Qualitative analysis suggested that those with less empathy toward the accused were more likely to discuss victim empowerment. Our findings suggest that interventions focused on increasing empathy could be an avenue to decrease victim derogation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
