A sample of 292 college students recalled a partner who had engaged in unwanted pursuit (46%) or recalled their most recent "normal" dating relationship. Subjects rated their own level of stalking victimization and rated the partner on a series of personality characteristics and social competence. Unwanted pursuers were perceived as less socially competent, more histrionic, more borderline, and less obsessive-compulsive, with discrimination of "normals" from unwanted pursuers of approximately 75% to 80% accuracy. These attributions also significantly predicted a continuous measure of unwanted pursuit victimization (R = .406). Implications for developing more precise and practical risk profiles of unwanted pursuers are discussed.
292名大学生参与了一项研究,他们回忆了曾有过非自愿追求行为的伴侣(46%),或者回忆了他们最近的“正常”约会关系。受试者对自己遭受跟踪骚扰的程度进行了评分,并对伴侣的一系列性格特征和社交能力进行了评分。非自愿追求者被认为社交能力较差、更具表演型人格、更具边缘型人格且强迫性较低,区分“正常”人与非自愿追求者的准确率约为75%至80%。这些归因也显著预测了非自愿追求受害者的持续程度(R = 0.406)。本文还讨论了为非自愿追求者制定更精确、实用的风险概况的意义。
