Ciberstalking: prevalência e estratégias de coping em estudantes portugueses do ensino secundário
Open accessAbstract
O cyberstalking é uma forma de perseguição que consiste na utilização da internet ou outro instrumento computadorizado, com intuito de assediar ou perseguir alguém, através de ações metódicas, persistentes e indesejáveis geradoras de incômodo na vida das vítimas. Este estudo pretendeu avaliar a prevalência do cyberstalking e analisar as estratégias de coping utilizadas pelas vítimas. Os dados foram recolhidos junto de 259 estudantes do ensino secundário através de um inquérito online composto por um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Avaliação do Cyberstalking e Escala de Coping no Stalking. As análises estatísticas revelaram uma taxa de prevalência real (experiência de pelo menos um comportamento de cyberstalking) de 68.0 % e uma taxa de vitimação autorrelatada (autoidentificação como vítima) de 25.5%. Os comportamentos de cyberstalking mais frequentes foram os de hiperintimidade e as estratégias de coping mais usadas pelas vítimas envolviam evitar o contato ou negar/minimizar os comportamentos do stalker. Os resultados apontam para uma desvalorização pelas vítimas dos comportamentos de perseguição online. Concluímos pela necessidade de realizar ações informativas sobre o tema direcionadas a toda a comunidade, para consciencializar sobre esse problema social, informar sobre as especificidades do fenômeno, bem como disseminar estratégias de prevenção.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
