Abstract

This research examined if participants would spontaneously include examples of cyberstalking when generating stalking schemas. Students were more likely to include cyberstalking behaviors and were more likely to select these types behaviors as examples of stalking, when reminded that stalking includes cyberstalking. No differences were found for selecting in-person behaviors.
