CYBERSTALKING KNOWLEDGE, RISK PERCEPTION, AND VICTIMIZATION LIKELIHOOD AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: EVIDENCE FROM ANGELES CITY
View through CrossRef
This study examined cyberstalking awareness, risk perception, and prevention measures among university students in an institution in Angeles City, Pampanga. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected through a validated questionnaire administered to college students aged 18 and above, with convenience sampling and Slovin’s formula applied to determine sample size. Attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors were measured using a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS. The findings highlighted differences in cyberstalking awareness and response behaviors based on demographic profiles and internet usage, providing insights for improving institutional digital safety policies and contributing to limited Philippine-based research on cyberstalking.
