There is consistent evidence to suggest that individuals with low resting heart rate are more likely to engage in a variety of antisocial behaviors. The present study examines whether this finding can be extended to stalking perpetration. Drawing from fearlessness theory and stimulation-seeking theory, as well as conceptual work of Meloy and Fisher, we find that individuals with low resting heart rates had significantly greater odds of engaging in stalking behavior, net of controls for sex, age, race, self-control, parental affection, delinquent peers, attitudes/beliefs toward crime, and aggression. When disaggregated by sex, the heart rate-stalking relationship was found to be significant for males, but not for females. The implications of these findings are discussed from a biosocial perspective.
有一致的证据表明，静息心率较低的个体更有可能从事各种反社会行为。本研究检验了这一发现是否可以扩展到跟踪行为。本研究借鉴了无畏理论和寻求刺激理论，以及 Meloy 和 Fisher 的概念性工作，发现静息心率较低的个体在控制了性别、年龄、种族、自我控制、父母亲情、不良同伴、对犯罪的态度/信念和攻击性等因素后，更有可能从事跟踪行为。按性别细分时，发现心率与跟踪行为之间的关系对男性显著，而对女性不显著。从生物社会的角度讨论了这些发现的意义。
