520 _aThis thesis investigates factors related to post-relationship stalking, such as the nature, consequences and motivations of this form of abuse. Participants were students at the University of Canterbury, providing a sample of 98 males and 98 females. Participants were asked to disclose levels of self-stalking and partner stalking behaviours. The study found no sex differences in the frequency of self or partner stalking, or in negative consequences of stalking. However, it was discovered that females were more likely to report they experienced fear. Another finding was that stalking behaviours increased if violence occurred in the relationship prior to separation. Additionally, the person initiating the relationship break-up was more likely to be the recipient of stalking behaviours, and conversely, unwanted termination of a relationship was a motivator for an individual to engage in stalking behaviours.
