Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development.

Area of Science:

Forensic Psychology
Cyberpsychology
Digital Criminology

Background:

Cyberstalking is frequently reported in media, but epidemiological research remains scarce.
Inconsistent definitions and varied study samples contribute to widely differing prevalence rates in existing literature.
Understanding cyberstalking is crucial due to its increasing presence and potential impact.

Observation:

Presents a case study of cyberstalking to illustrate the phenomenon.
Reviews available empirical data on cyberstalking prevalence and characteristics.
Highlights the psychological distress cyberstalking can inflict, comparable to traditional stalking.

Findings:

Cyberstalking can induce significant psychological distress in victims.
Existing research lacks a standardized definition, leading to inconsistent findings.
Prevalence rates vary considerably due to methodological differences.

Implications:

Psychiatrists and mental health professionals must be aware of cyberstalking to effectively support victims.
A standardized scientific definition of cyberstalking is urgently needed for accurate research.
Future epidemiological studies are essential to understand the scope and impact of cyberstalking.
