Abstract:
Stalking is a common and problematic behaviour, affecting up to 15% of Australians throughout their lifetime. While research over the last 25 years has clarified basic facts about stalking, such as how often it occurs, who stalks, who is targeted, how frequently it involves physical violence, and its impacts, we still have a limited understanding of why stalking emerges in some interpersonal situations and not others. In the 2016 Jocelyn Wale Seminar, Dr McEwan will canvass existing theories of stalking, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, before outlining a new integrated theory of stalking behaviour that considers how cognition, affect, and psychopathology interact to produce stalking behaviour in some situations and not others.
Hosted by the Department of Psychology, College of Healthcare Sciences.
