Stalking and obsessive relational intrusions both refer to a pervasive and unwanted pattern of pursuit behaviors, the former being a criminal offense evoking fear and a sense of menace in the victim, while the latter may be perceived as annoying or otherwise undesirable, but not necessarily fear inducing. While the individual and societal costs of stalking and obsessive relational intrusion are increasingly recognized, research regarding these behaviors and their consequences has been limited by measurement issues, as most studies have relied on questionnaires and checklists based on very limited validation data. The goal of the present study is to report on the development and validation of the Stalking and Obsessive Relational Intrusions Questionnaire (SORI-Q), a 28-item self-report questionnaire designed to probe for perpetration of stalking-like behaviors. Young adults (age 18–30 years) from a community sample (N = 1,804; 82.6% women) were recruited online. They completed the SORI-Q, along with measures of dark personality traits, insecure attachment dimensions, and intimate partner violence. Overall, the SORI-Q displayed sound psychometric properties. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis yielded a two-factor solution (Hyper-intimacy and Domineering control) with adequate to good fit indices. The total scale and the two factor scores showed high internal consistency (above 0.70 for all indices). A number of gender differences were observed at total-, factor-, and item-level, the most outstanding being that women had a higher score on the total SORI-Q score, and on the Domineering control factor and most of its items. The questionnaire showed conceptually meaningful positive correlations with dark personality traits, attachment anxiety, and intimate partner violence. Dominance analysis revealed that attachment anxiety and Machiavellianism were the strongest statistical predictors of SORI-Q scores. The SORI-Q should be seen as a promising new measure of stalking-like and ORI behaviors in young adults from community settings.

跟踪和强迫性关系入侵都是指一种普遍的、不受欢迎的追求行为模式，前者是一种刑事犯罪，会引起受害者的恐惧和威胁感，而后者可能会被认为是烦人的或其他不受欢迎的，但不一定是恐惧的诱导。虽然越来越多的人认识到跟踪和强迫性关系入侵的个人和社会成本，但关于这些行为及其后果的研究一直受到测量问题的限制，因为大多数研究都依赖于基于非常有限的验证数据的问卷和清单。本研究的目的是报告跟踪和强迫性关系入侵问卷 (SORI-Q) 的开发和验证，一份包含 28 个项目的自我报告问卷，旨在调查是否存在类似跟踪行为的行为。来自社区样本的年轻人（18-30 岁）（N = 1,804；82.6% 的女性）是在网上招聘的。他们完成了 SORI-Q，以及黑暗人格特质、不安全依恋维度和亲密伴侣暴力的测量。总体而言，SORI-Q 显示出良好的心理测量特性。探索性和验证性因素分析产生了一个双因素解决方案（超亲密和霸道控制），具有足够的拟合指数。总量表和两个因素得分显示出较高的内部一致性（所有指标均高于 0.70）。在总分、因素和项目水平上观察到了许多性别差异，最突出的是女性在 SORI-Q 总分和霸气控制上的得分更高因素及其大部分项目。问卷显示了与黑暗人格特质、依恋焦虑和亲密伴侣暴力在概念上有意义的正相关。优势分析表明，依恋焦虑和马基雅维利主义是 SORI-Q 分数的最强统计预测因子。SORI-Q 应该被视为一种有前途的新措施，用于衡量社区环境中年轻人的跟踪行为和 ORI 行为。
