Abstract

The study of cyber stalking is starting in Mexico. The impact of technology use today is undeniable, but also should not forget that there are people who use it to harass others. So the purpose of this investigation was to validate in Mexico the subscale of the Survey Obsessive Relational Intrusion called Contact Mediated (Spitzberg & Cupach, 2014). To do so, participated 717 people (504 women and 204 men) who reported being harassed. We used the method of validity and reliability of Reyes Lagunes & García y Barragán (2008) to obtain a valid measure with robust and interesting psychometric properties and five: remote surveillance, search interaction, social prestige, approaches and violence. The scale was different in the originally reported factorial configuration.
