He\u2019s the first president to be held liable for sexual assault, and in January, he was ordered to pay over US$80 million to E Jean Carroll for defamatory statements related to her sexual assault claims.<br \/>\nDespite all this, many of Trump\u2019s supporters anticipate his history of sexual misconduct will not hurt his chances for re-election. Some even believe he is a victim of the allegations. Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville went so far as to say the sexual assault verdict made him \u201cwant to vote for him twice.\u201d<br \/>\nIn addition to the barrage of online trolling, she also received death threats and was driven from her home.<br \/>\nThese outcomes are consistent with prior research that has found most men accused of sexual misconduct rarely experience career setbacks such as transfers or terminations. In contrast, women who report such incidents often face significant consequences, including job loss, involuntary transfers or ostracism.<br \/>\nAcross five studies using real-world stories from organisations, social media responses to #MeToo claims, and experiments, we found third parties tend to evaluate individuals involved in sexual misconduct claims based on their moral values as outlined by moral foundations theory.<br \/>\nThis theory argues there are five global moral values: alleviating suffering (care), promoting equity and equality (fairness), being loyal and devoted to your groups (loyalty), showing deference to those in power (authority), and practising physical and spiritual cleanliness (purity).<br \/>\nResearch has found that people value the five moral foundations to differing extents. Some people tend to care more about the foundations of respect for authority, loyalty and purity, while others tend to emphasise care and fairness.<br \/>\nPeople who highly value respect for authority, loyalty and purity tend to view behaviour that threatens the stability of groups and institutions as immoral. We would suggest that sexual misconduct allegations against men in positions of authority could be offensive to those who endorse these values.<br \/>\nOur research indicates that moral concerns about loyalty, authority and purity can give rise to \u2018himpathy\u2019 \u2013 a term coined by philosopher Kate Manne that describes the excessive sympathy directed toward alleged male perpetrators and the anger directed toward accusing female victims.<br \/>\nIn a study of 4,000 tweets from the #MeToo movement, we found tweets containing words related to authority, loyalty and purity were more likely to express sympathy toward alleged perpetrators and anger toward accusing victims.<br \/>\nWe also found a similar pattern in stories people shared about witnessing or hearing about workplace sexual harassment. People who valued loyalty, authority and purity were more likely to feel sympathetic toward the person accused and angry toward the accuser.<br \/>\nOur studies showed that himpathy negatively impacts judgements about credibility and results in motivations to resolve injustice in favour of the perpetrator rather than the victim. This ultimately leads to a reduced inclination to punish the alleged perpetrator and a greater willingness to penalise the accusing victim.<br \/>\nThese moral concerns seem to flip the expected narrative on its head: when people care a lot about authority, loyalty and purity, they are more likely to construe the accused as the victim and his accuser as the villain.<br \/>\nAlthough himpathy will likely continue to occur in political arenas and organisations, there are steps managers and leaders can take to prevent himpathy from protecting perpetrators and causing additional harm to victims.<br \/>\nLeaders can contribute to increased backlash against victims when they question the victim\u2019s morality in front of their co-workers who strongly value loyalty, authority, and purity. Thus, we recommend managers remain as neutral as possible.<br \/>\nWe further encourage organisations to hire third-party investigators not emotionally connected to the case. If this isn\u2019t possible, leaders can build impartial investigative committees with employees holding diverse perspectives and values, which would help prevent anyone who may feel sympathetic to the accused from overly influencing disciplinary decisions.<br \/>\nSamantha Dodson is Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia and Rachael Dailey Goodwin\u00a0is Assistant Professor of Management, Syracuse University.
