### Depression and Anxiety Symptoms  
Overall, the findings showed that 133 subjects in the sample (58.1%) had a minimal score for depression symptoms. The rest of the sample had a mild score (35, 15.3%), a moderate score (26, 11.4%), or a severe score (6, 2.6%) on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). In the case of state anxiety symptoms, 98 subjects (42.8%) scored under 40 (the threshold value considered predictive of state anxiety symptoms). Of the participants, 70 (30.6%) had mild anxiety, 33 (14.4%) had moderate anxiety, and the rest (12.2%) had severe anxiety. For trait anxiety symptoms, 88 subjects (38.4%) scored under 40. Of the participants, 79 (34.5%) had a mild score, 40 (17.5%) had a moderate score, and the rest (9.6%) had a severe trait anxiety score.  
One-way ANOVA analyses were performed to compare subjects who were never involved in a cyberstalking behavior (Never; \(n=118\)) with those who had been victims of one type (OneType; \(n=49\)) or more than one type of cyberstalking (MoreType; \(n=62\)). The BDI, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory version 1 (STAIY1) and STAIY2 scales were introduced as dependent variables. A Tukey post-hoc test was used. Results are reported in Table 2. Significantly different means are indicated with different letters at the apex.

Table 1: Physical and emotional symptoms: comparison between OneType and MoreType (percentage in brackets) victims. \(\chi^{2}\) = chi-square value; n.s. = not statistically significant: \(\varphi\) = phi value.  
As we can see in Table 2, the mean of depressive symptoms was significantly higher in victims of more than one type of cyberstalking compared to those who were not victims. No significant differences were found for anxiety symptoms.
