Abstract
We examined whether subject variables and stalking myth acceptance (SMA) were predictors of perpetration and updated prevalence rates of stalking. Being male and heterosexual were significant predictors of SMA. Women were less likely to endorse SMA and label their own behaviors as stalking, but more likely to stalk than males.
