“…The findings showed a prevalence of 66.76%, 39.92%, 64.64%, 60.00%, 57.20%, 61.30%, 64.84%, and 49.18% for harassment and annoyance, posted false information, sent sexual material, pretended to be a victim, attempted to disable your computer, monitored your profile, sent the threatening letter or message to the victim's email, wrote threatening/offensive comments to the victim in chat rooms/instant messaging sites, respectively.

Cyberstalking is a growing anti-social problem being transformed on a large scale and in various forms. Cyberstalking detection has become increasingly popular in recent years and has technically been investigated by many researchers. However, cyberstalking victimization, an essential part of cyberstalking, has empirically received less attention from the paper community. This paper attempts to address this gap and develop a model to understand and estimate the prevalence of cyberstalking victimization. The model of this paper is produced using routine activities and lifestyle exposure theories and includes eight hypotheses. The data of this paper is collected from the 757 respondents in Jordanian universities. This review paper utilizes a quantitative approach and uses structural equation modeling for data analysis. The results revealed a modest prevalence range is more dependent on the cyberstalking type. The results also indicated that proximity to motivated offenders, suitable targets, and digital guardians significantly influences cyberstalking victimization. The outcome from moderation hypothesis testing demonstrated that age and residence have a significant effect on cyberstalking victimization. The proposed model is an essential element for assessing cyberstalking victimization among societies, which provides a valuable understanding of the prevalence of cyberstalking victimization. This can assist the researchers and practitioners for future research in the context of cyberstalking victimization.

“…An online survey was devised by the authors as there were no existing measures available to assess perceptions and experiences of cyberharassment. The survey items were drawn from cyber-harassing behaviors discussed in the literature (Alexy, Burgess, Baker, & Smoyak, 2005;Bocij, 2003;D'Ovidio & Doyle, 2003;Ellison, 1999;Griffiths, Rogers, & Sparrow, 1998;Jerin & Dolinsky, 2001;Sheridan & Grant, 2007). The survey was piloted with 32 psychology postgraduate students.…”

Whilst cyber-harassment is a criminal act within the United Kingdom, there is little research examining whether cyber-harassing behaviors are perceived as criminal. This paper assesses whether the ‘Big Five’ personality characteristics and Internet self-efficacy influence perceived criminality of cyber-harassing behaviors. The sample comprised 320 undergraduate students who completed an online survey measuring perceived criminality of 18 cyber-harassing behaviors. Principal axis factoring revealed three dimensions: malicious behavior, harassing messages, and malicious software. High Internet self-efficacious individuals (i.e., those who feel more in control of online interactions) were more likely than low Internet self-efficacious individuals to perceive malicious software as criminal. Low-agreeable individuals were more likely than high-agreeable individuals to perceive harassing messages as criminal. Whilst personality and Internet self-efficacy influenced perceived criminality for some cyber-harassing behaviors, the findings were not consistent. The paper discusses the findings and implications for future research.

“…Due to the Saudi restrictions in finding a spouse other than the traditional methods, many have sought out refuge in online dating platforms. The phenomenon of “dating” has been one of the significant changes to the history of courtship and intimate relationships between males and females in Western societies during the twentieth century (Jerin & Dolinsky, ). Dating has changed the process of establishing romantic relationships.…”

While traditional Saudi Arabian courtship is rigidly structured according to a set of Islamic codes of conduct, over the past decade, Saudis have increasingly turned to unconventional means of finding and courting a potential spouse: matrimonial Web sites. This research explores the debate in the literature on computer meditated communication regarding whether online settings provide rich information about other users, as they show that online interactions can provide more information about the opposite sex for users who belong to gender-segregated societies than they can get through their offline lives.
