Abstract
A correlational study was conducted to build upon previous research examining unwanted pursuit behavior and further explore new factors that were hypothesized to significantly predict unwanted pursuit behaviors. The results indicated support for past research regarding past satisfaction, attachment styles, and personality factors. Previous research was further strengthened with results that indicated that college students were more likely to engage in unwanted pursuit behaviors than were non-students. Finally, this study conducted novel research and found significant associations between the factors of self-control and tangible investments in predicting unwanted pursuit behaviors. This paper presents future research ideas for unwanted pursuit behaviors and provides potential applications for research on stalking.
