Objective The purpose of the study was to compare the experience of stalking victimization in students and workers, considering the prevalence of the phenomenon, physical and emotive consequences and coping strategies.
Methods: A total of 291 students (51.9%) and 270 workers (48.1%) who were the victims of stalking filled out an anonymous questionnaire.
Results: The findings showed the reported behaviors were consistent, with a higher percentage of workers experiencing mediated and interactive contact, harassment, and physical violence. Students also reported more physical and emotive symptoms than workers, with some significant differences (loss/increase of appetite, nausea, self-inflicted injuries, and panic attacks; suicidal thoughts, sadness, confusion, lack of trust in others, aggressiveness, paranoia, irritability, and agoraphobia). Moreover, in students, interactive contact is associated with both physical and emotive symptoms, while in workers, the same behavior is associated with emotive symptoms only. Regarding coping strategies, results showed that students were more likely to report increased social contact.
Discussion: The research can guide intervention and prevention strategies, such as the importance of promoting educational campaigns for bystanders rather than only for victims. |
