In the current study, sheltered battered women (n = 105) self-reported whether they had perpetrated stalking or other unwanted pursuit behaviors (e.g., harassment, threat) during relationship separations from their abuser. Results indicated that sheltered battered women who admitted perpetrating stalking behavior (about 25% of the sample) had more self-blame, depression, and a greater tendency to leave the shelter within the first week (45%) than did battered women who did not report perpetrating stalking behaviors. The majority of battered women who reported perpetrating stalking behavior also reported being victimized by stalking behaviors (bidirectional stalking). Although these women reported similarly high levels of fear toward their abuser as did unidirectionally stalked women, bidirectionally stalking women were less likely to perceive that their abuser was using his violence to obtain control over them and were more depressed and self-blaming. Directions for future research, recommendations for shelter staff, and the potential treatment implications of these findings are discussed.
在当前研究中，受庇护的受虐妇女（n = 105）自我报告了在与施虐者分居期间，她们是否实施过跟踪或其他不受欢迎的追求行为（例如骚扰、威胁）。结果表明，承认实施跟踪行为的受庇护受虐妇女（约占样本的25%）比未报告实施跟踪行为的受虐妇女有更多的自责、抑郁情绪，并且在第一周内离开庇护所的倾向更大（45%）。大多数报告实施跟踪行为的受虐妇女还报告称曾遭受跟踪行为的侵害（双向跟踪）。尽管这些妇女报告的对施虐者的恐惧程度与单向跟踪的妇女相似，但双向跟踪的妇女不太可能认为施虐者是在利用暴力来控制她们，并且更抑郁、更自责。本文讨论了未来研究的方向、对庇护所工作人员的建议以及这些发现的潜在治疗意义。
