Abstract(s)
Este artigo pretende reflectir sobre uma realidade ainda pouco conhecida no contexto nacional – o
stalking – e analisar os factores que concorrem para o sentimento de medo face a esta experiência de
vitimação. O estudo foi conduzido junto de uma amostra de 236 participantes que relataram ter sido
alvo de stalking em algum momento das suas vidas. O sexo e a idade da vítima, assim como ser alvo
de vigilância pelo stalker emergiram como preditores do medo face a este tipo de vitimação. Os
resultados sugerem que os efeitos deste tipo de violência devem ser compreendidos e localizados no
tecido sócio-cultural, sendo necessário um maior investimento ao nível da investigação e das práticas
para fazer face a este fenómeno.
This paper aims to reflect about a reality that is still hidden in the national context – stalking – and to analyze the factors that compete to fear as a result of this kind of victimization. The study was conducted with a sample of 236 participants that had reported being a target of stalking in some point of their lives. Victim’s age, sex, and also being victim of surveillance by the stalker have emerged as predictors of fear as a consequence of stalking. Therefore, results suggest that the effects of this type of violence should be understood and located in the sociocultural tissue, being necessary a greater investment in research and practices for acting against this phenomenon.
