Abstract
This study explores how patriarchal family dynamics influence cyberstalking behavior toward opposite-sex partners on social media, considering gender differences. Traditional criminological perspectives suggest that patriarchal factors primarily explain men's crimes against women, but we argue that these influences extend to women as well. Examining fixation and stalking peers, we find significant interactions with patriarchal influence across genders. Analysis of 200 college social networking sites users in Seoul reveals patriarchal family dynamics significantly impact cyberstalking behaviors for both genders, with notable gender-specific interaction effects. This study sheds light on the nuanced role of patriarchal family dynamics in cyberstalking behaviors.
