Abstract

Purpose

There is limited research examining stalking among adolescents. This study investigates adolescent stalking following an intimate relationship, or post-relationship stalking (PRS), potential links with youth intimate partner abuse (YIPA) during the relationship, and examines psychological processes hypothesised to be associated with perpetrating PRS.

Methods

Four hundred and twenty-three participants aged between 14–18 years were recruited from Australian secondary schools, with a subsample of 205 who reported on experiences of YIPA and PRS used in this study.

Results

Results showed that PRS was prevalent, with 19% (n = 33) reporting victimisation and 18% (n = 31) perpetration. Significant relationships were found between the experience of PRS and prior YIPA victimisation. Rumination about relationships was significantly related to PRS perpetration.

Conclusions

These findings add to the small body of literature on adolescent stalking and emphasise the need for more research into this phenomenon in order to guide developmentally appropriate prevention and intervention strategies.

澳大利亚青少年的恋爱后跟踪和亲密伴侣虐待

目的对青少年跟踪行为的研究有限。这项研究调查了亲密关系后的青少年跟踪，或关系后跟踪（PRS），以及在关系期间与青少年亲密伴侣虐待（YIPA）的潜在联系，并考察了被假设与实施PRS有关的心理过程。方法从澳大利亚中学招募了423名年龄在14-18岁之间的参与者，其中205人报告了本研究中使用的YIPA和PRS的经历。结果结果表明，PRS普遍存在，19%（n=33）报告受害，18%（n=31）报告实施。PRS的经历与先前的YIPA受害之间存在显著关系。对人际关系的沉思与PRS的实施显著相关。结论这些发现增加了关于青少年跟踪的少量文献，并强调需要对这一现象进行更多的研究，以指导适合发展的预防和干预策略。
