Stalking is a potentially lethal crime that has
significantly affected millions. The present study
attempted to explore the dynamics of stalking by
evaluating the personality structures of male
stalking perpetrators utilizing the MMPI-2. The
MMPI-2 profiles of male stalkers were compared to a
control group of males from the normal population
matched on age, ethnicity, and educational
background. The differences of the clinical and
validity scales T score means on the MMPI-2 were
analyzed using one-way ANOVAs. Based on the
statistical analysis, the male stalkers obtained
higher scores on Scales Pd, Pa, and F and the
differences in means were statistically significant.
The stalking group s scores on Scales Hs, D, Hy, Pt,
and Sc where also significant at the p.05 level,
while the T scores of the non-stalking group obtained
significance on Scale K at the p.05 level. The
results indicated that male stalkers may experience
more interpersonal distress and, in times
of stress, become more irritated, aggressive and
manipulative than the matched sample.
