Accurate measurement of stalking has proven difficult, partly because stalking is characterised by the cumulative effects of a pattern of behaviour. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a new measure of stalking that overcomes the observed shortcomings of existing tools. The Stalking Assessment Indices (SAI) were created using index development principles and evaluated in 244 Australian undergraduate students ( = 33.7, 77% female). Seventy-three reported stalking victimisation (experiencing at least five intrusions over at least two weeks causing substantial fear or distress), and 51 reported stalking perpetration. Stalking behaviours reported by victims formed a two-component structure, which was also observed in multidimensional scaling analysis. The perpetration index showed good convergent validity with measures of rumination and aggression, and both indices had adequate test-retest reliability over four weeks. These results suggest that the SAI could provide a consistent and inclusive measure of stalking for use across different research settings.
事实证明，准确测量跟踪行为很困难，部分原因是跟踪行为具有行为模式累积效应的特点。本研究旨在开发和评估一种新的跟踪行为测量方法，以克服现有工具所观察到的缺点。跟踪行为评估指数（SAI）是根据指数开发原则创建的，并在244名澳大利亚本科生中进行了评估（平均年龄 = 33.7岁，77%为女性）。73人报告曾是跟踪行为的受害者（在至少两周内经历至少五次侵扰，造成严重恐惧或困扰），51人报告实施过跟踪行为。受害者报告的跟踪行为形成了一个两成分结构，在多维尺度分析中也观察到了这一点。实施指数与沉思和攻击测量方法具有良好的收敛效度，并且两个指数在四周内都具有足够的重测信度。这些结果表明，SAI可以为不同研究环境下的跟踪行为提供一种一致且全面的测量方法。
