Abstract(s)
As práticas de stalking e ciberstalking são caracterizadas por violência interpessoal e apresentam padrões de comportamentos persistentes. Ambos os fenômenos são tidos como um problema de saúde pública e social, inclusive na população universitária que é tida como a mais vulnerável. Na realidade brasileira, não se evidenciam muitos estudos abordando a caracterização, modalidade e padrão de vítimas dos comportamentos de stalking e ciberstalking. Foram estudadas as práticas de stalking e ciberstalking em universitários brasileiros através do Inventário de Vitimação por Stalking (IVS) e pela Escala de Avaliação de Ciberstalking (EAC). Participaram do estudo 236 universitários, de ambos os sexos (79.2% mulheres e 20.8% homens) e a faixa etária entre 17 e 47 anos (M= 22.68, DP= 3.84). Os resultados evidenciaram a prevalência de stalking e ciberstalking sendo a taxa de 44.1% semelhante à literatura internacional. Com base nesses dados, o estudo foi direcionado aos 104 participantes (44.1%) que se definiram como vítimas de stalking e ciberstalking. Observou-se que são predominantemente do sexo feminino (83.7%), enquanto os agressores são majoritariamente homens (76.9%). Os comportamentos de vitimação de stalking se caracterizaram por tentar entrar em contato de forma não desejada (79.8%), aparecer em locais frequentados pela vítima (42.3%) e vigiar ou pedir a alguém para vigiar a vítima (34.6%). Enquanto os de ciberstalking foram de hiperintimidade, como enviar mensagens excessivamente carentes ou exigentes (89.3%). Os resultados corroboram a literatura quanto a ocorrência do stalking e ciberstalking na realidade brasileira, o que demanda ampliação dos estudos. Além disso, implica no desenvolvimento de política pública, bem como na produção de informações à população visando a redução de vítimas desses fenômenos.
Stalking and cyberstalking are characterized by interpersonal violence and have persistent behavior pattern. Both phenomena are seen as public and social health problems, including the university population, which is considered the most vulnerable. In Brazil, there are not many studies addressing the characterization, modality, and pattern of victims of stalking and cyberstalking behaviors. The study aimed to verify the stalking and cyberstalking practices in Brazilian university students through the following instruments: Inventário de Vitimação por Stalking (IVS) and Escala de Avaliação de cyberstalking (EAC). The total sample had 236 university students, of both genders (79.2% women, 20.8% men) and age between 17 and 47 years old (M=22.68, DP=3.84). The results found were the same prevalence of stalking and cyberstalking (44.1%) similar to international literature. According to the collected data, this study was specifically to the 104 participants (44.1%) that defined themselves as stalking and cyberstalking victims. It was observed that they are predominantly female (83.7%), while the aggressors are mostly men (76.9%). The behaviors of stalkers were: try to contact in an unwanted way (79.8%), going to places frequented by the victim (42.3%) and watching or ask someone to watch the victim (34.6%). The behaviors of cyberstalkers were: hyperintimacy, such as sending excessive, needy, or demanding messages (89.3%). The results corroborate the literature regarding the occurrence of stalking and cyberstalking in the Brazilian reality, which demands expansion of studies. Furthermore, it invites the development of public policy, as well as production of information to the population, aiming to reduce the number of victims of these phenomena.
