    Cyberstalking refers to a pattern of repeated behavior, intentional and unwanted directed at victims.

    Considering the context of intimate relationships and the role of aggressor, there is a greater involvement of this group in antisocial and criminal conduct, however, such conduct is still little explored in the literature.

    Therefore, an adequate measure to track the perpetration of cyberstalking will help in understanding the theme in different contexts. In two studies (N=467), the psychometric parameters of the Intimate Partner Cyberstalking Scale (IPCS) were evaluated using different techniques (e.g., Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Item Response Theory), and a short version of the scale proposed. Both versions had a reliable onedimensional structure and had similar correlations with machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism.

    Overall, the results show that the IPCS and its short version are useful measures for assessing the perpetration of cyberstalking and its correlates in Brazil.

    O cyberstalking, refere-se a um padrão de comportamento repetido, intencional e indesejado direcionado às vítimas. Considerando o contexto dos relacionamentos íntimos e o papel de agressor, verifica-se um maior envolvimento desse grupo em condutas antissociais e delitivas, entretanto, tal conduta ainda é pouco explorada pela literatura. Portanto, uma medida adequada para rastrear a perpetração do cyberstalking ajudará na compreensão da temática em diferentes contextos. Em dois estudos (N=467), foram avaliados os parâmetros psicométricos da Intimate Partner Cyberstalking Scale (IPCS) por meio de diferentes técnicas (e.g., Análise Fatorial Confirmatória, Teoria de Resposta ao Item), além de propor uma versão curta da escala. Ambas as versões apresentaram uma estrutura unidimensional confiável e apresentaram correlações semelhantes com maquiavelismo, psicopatia e narcisismo. No geral, os resultados mostram que a IPCS e sua versão curta são medidas úteis para a avaliação da perpetração do cyberstalking e seus correlatos no Brasil.
