This study examined the critical events defining the temporal progression of unwanted relationship pursuit. Retrospective interviews elicited the experiences of 42 victims of obsessive relational intrusion (ORI) and its extreme manifestation, stalking. Participants described turning points within their ORI experiences, and constructed graphs representing the progression of turning points over time in terms of changes in perceived severity. Inductive data analysis revealed 17 distinct turning point types. Some turning point types were associated with increases in ORI severity and others were associated with decreases. Five temporal trajectories of ORI progression also were identified. Results indicate that ORI does not necessarily progress along linear and continuous paths. Some findings support coping advice commonly given to victims of ORI and stalking.
本研究考察了界定不受欢迎的关系追求的时间进程的关键事件。回顾性访谈引出了42名强迫性关系侵扰（ORI）受害者及其极端表现形式——跟踪的经历。参与者描述了他们在ORI经历中的转折点，并绘制了图表，根据感知到的严重程度变化来表示转折点随时间的进展情况。归纳数据分析揭示了17种不同的转折点类型。有些转折点类型与ORI严重程度的增加有关，而另一些则与严重程度的降低有关。还确定了ORI进展的五条时间轨迹。结果表明，ORI不一定沿着线性和连续的路径发展。一些研究结果支持了通常给予ORI和跟踪受害者的应对建议。
