Most stalking literature reports on male stalkers and female victims. This work examines stalking experiences in 4 sex dyads: male stalker-female victim, female stalker-male victim, female-female dyads, and male-male dyads. Respondents were 872 self-defined victims of stalking from the United Kingdom and the United States who completed an anonymous survey. The study variables covered the process of stalking, effects on victims and third parties, and victim responses to stalking. Approximately 10% of comparisons were significant, indicating that sex of victim and stalker is not a highly discriminative factor in stalking cases. Female victims of male stalkers were most likely to suffer physical and psychological consequences. Female victims reported more fear than males did, and most significant differences conformed to sex role stereotypes. Earlier work suggested stalker motivation and prior victim-stalker relationship as important variables in analyses of stalking, but these did not prove significant in this work, perhaps because of sampling differences.
大多数关于跟踪骚扰行为的文献报道的都是男性跟踪骚扰者和女性受害者。这项研究考察了4种性别组合中的跟踪骚扰经历：男性跟踪骚扰者-女性受害者、女性跟踪骚扰者-男性受害者、女性-女性组合以及男性-男性组合。受访者是来自英国和美国的872名自认为是跟踪骚扰行为受害者的人，他们完成了一项匿名调查。研究变量涵盖跟踪骚扰行为的过程、对受害者及第三方的影响，以及受害者对跟踪骚扰行为的反应。约10%的比较结果具有显著性，这表明在跟踪骚扰案件中，受害者和跟踪骚扰者的性别并非高度区分性因素。男性跟踪骚扰者的女性受害者最有可能遭受身体和心理方面的后果。女性受害者比男性报告了更多的恐惧，且大多数显著差异符合性别角色刻板印象。早期的研究表明，跟踪骚扰者的动机以及之前受害者与跟踪骚扰者的关系是跟踪骚扰行为分析中的重要变量，但在这项研究中这些变量并未显示出显著性，这可能是由于抽样差异所致。
