O cyberstalking é uma forma de perseguição que consiste na utilização da internet ou outro instrumento computadorizado, com intuito de assediar ou perseguir alguém, através de ações metódicas, persistentes e indesejáveis geradoras de incômodo na vida das vítimas. Este estudo pretendeu avaliar a prevalência do cyberstalking e analisar as estratégias de coping utilizadas pelas vítimas. Os dados foram recolhidos junto de 259 estudantes do ensino secundário através de um inquérito online composto por um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Avaliação do Cyberstalking e Escala de Coping no Stalking. As análises estatísticas revelaram uma taxa de prevalência real (experiência de pelo menos um comportamento de cyberstalking) de 68.0 % e uma taxa de vitimação autorrelatada (autoidentificação como vítima) de 25.5%. Os comportamentos de cyberstalking mais frequentes foram os de hiperintimidade e as estratégias de coping mais usadas pelas vítimas envolviam evitar o contato ou negar/minimizar os comportamentos do stalker. Os resultados apontam para uma desvalorização pelas vítimas dos comportamentos de perseguição online. Concluímos pela necessidade de realizar ações informativas sobre o tema direcionadas a toda a comunidade, para consciencializar sobre esse problema social, informar sobre as especificidades do fenômeno, bem como disseminar estratégias de prevenção.
