Description:

Why do some people stalk others? We hypothesize that stalking behaviors evolved as solutions to specific sets of adaptive problems faced by our ancestors. For example, we propose that stalking behaviors may have been effective in dealing with problems of human mating, and status and reputation management. Research will focus on examining patterns in people’s experiences with stalking for evidence of evolved psychological design for stalking.
