Summary: 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.

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.Este trabalho é financiado por Fundos FEDER através do Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade – COMPETE e por Fundos Nacionais através da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia e da CIG – Comissão para a Cidadania e Igualdade de Género no âmbito do projecto “Stalking em Portugal: Prevalência, impacto e intervenção” (PIHM/VG/0090/2008).Instituto Superior de Psicologia AplicadaUniversidade do MinhoMatos, MarleneGrangeia, HelenaFerreira, CéliaAzevedo, Vanessa2012-122012-12-01T00:00:00Z10000-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/72020eng0870-823110.14417/ap.544http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/544info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-11T05:45:41Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/72020Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T15:29:03.600037Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
