The aim of this study was to test the association between Stalking-Related Behavior (SRB), urami and communication skills. As variables related to SRB, three factors were investigated: the frequency of SRB, the persistency of SRB and the variation of types of SRB exhibited. As a variable of motivation for SRB, urami was investigated. As variables of communication skills, six factors were investigated: expressivity, assertiveness, decipherer ability, other acceptance, self-control, and regulation of interpersonal relationships. A web-survey was conducted using 191 male and 197 female participants who have been rejected by someone they have loved (hereby referred to as “the target”) within the last five years. The results of a multiple-group analysis revealed a model that was common in both men and women which showed that poor self-control and other acceptance increased urami in the experience of rejection, and urami increased both the frequency and variation of types of SRB exhibited. Furthermore, the results found that as the level of assertiveness decreased, persistency of SRB increased. Finally, the limitations of this study and future prospects about the research of stalking in Japan was discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim and the gender of both on the estimation of the severity of stalking incidents. The study used a 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 (prior relationship × perpetrator’s gender × victim’s gender × participant’s gender) experimental design with a hypothetical scenario. A total of 1,200 participants read one of the 12 scenarios and answered items concerning the situation described. The results showed that the participants tended to estimate the severity of the incident lower when the perpetrator was an ex-partner rather than a stranger, or when the victim was a man rather than a woman. In the case of female victims, they tended to estimate the severity lower when the perpetrator was female rather than male. To deal with stalking cases as early as possible, primary prevention and training for police officers are needed to reduce these cognitive biases.
