“…This makes young adults aged 18-24 the most likely of any age group to use the Internet. Analyses of digital behaviors among college students indicate that 88% of college women and 83.4% of college men text message daily (Bennett, Guran, Ramos, & Margolin, 2011). Digital media have therefore become an important social relational context for adolescents and young adults, through which much of their daily social interactions with peers and dating partners occur.…”

“…Research on electronic aggression (not specific to dating relationships) also finds a complicated relationship between gender and digital behaviors, with inconsistent results (e.g., Bennett et al, 2011;Hinduja & Patchin, 2008;Kowalski & Limber, 2007;Wolak, Mitchell, & Finkelhor, 2007). Zweig and colleagues (2013) found higher rates of cyber dating abuse victimization among female middle and high school students, especially for sexual behaviors.…”

Digital dating abuse (DDA) is a pattern of behaviors that control, pressure, or threaten a dating partner using a cell phone or the Internet. A survey of 365 college students was conducted, finding that digital monitoring behaviors were especially common. There were no gender differences in number of DDA behaviors experienced, but women reported more negative hypothetical reactions to sexual messaging than men. DDA was associated with measures of physical, sexual, and psychological dating violence. Results suggest that digital media are a context for potentially harmful dating behaviors, and the experience of DDA may differ by gender for sexual behaviors.

“…We assessed cyber dating abuse by using 7 items modified from Ybarra 3 and Bennett 28 (Cronbach a = .72) that asked about behaviors occurring within a dating relationship using technology. These items were pilot tested using cognitive interviewing techniques with a sample of adolescents (n = 20) from a separate SHC in the same region not participating in the parent study.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Cyber dating abuse victimization has been correlated with physical, sexual, and psychological adolescent relationship abuse. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This is the first clinic-based study of cyber dating abuse. Forty-one percent of youth reported cyber dating abuse victimization, female more than male respondents. Compared with nonexposed youth, abuse victims reported more sexual assault; female victims reported more contraceptive nonuse and reproductive coercion. abstract OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of cyber dating abuse among youth aged 14 to 19 years seeking care at school-based health centers and associations with other forms of adolescent relationship abuse (ARA), sexual violence, and reproductive and sexual health indicators. METHODS:A cross-sectional survey was conducted during the 2012-2013 school year (participant n = 1008). Associations between cyber dating abuse and study outcomes were assessed via logistic regression models for clustered survey data. RESULTS:Past 3-month cyber dating abuse was reported by 41.4% of this clinic-based sample. More female than male participants reported cyber dating abuse victimization (44.6% vs 31.0%). Compared with no exposure, low-("a few times") and high-frequency ("once or twice a month" or more) cyber dating abuse were significantly associated with physical or sexual ARA (low: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-4.4; high: aOR 5.4, 95% CI 4.0-7.5) and nonpartner sexual assault (low: aOR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-5.5; high: aOR 4.1, 95% CI 2.8-5.9). Analysis with female participants found an association between cyber dating abuse exposure and contraceptive nonuse (low: aOR 1.8, 95% CI 1.2-2.7; high: aOR 4.1, 95% CI 2.0-8.4) and reproductive coercion (low: aOR 3.0, 95% CI 1.4-6.2; high: aOR 5.7, 95% CI 2.8-11.6).CONCLUSIONS: Cyber dating abuse is common and associated with ARA and sexual assault in an adolescent clinic-based sample. The associations of cyber dating abuse with sexual behavior and pregnancy risk behaviors suggest a need to integrate ARA education and harm reduction counseling into sexual health assessments in clinical settings.

“…En concreto, en torno a una cuarta parte de los participantes informaron haber ejercido alguna de las acciones propuestas de ciberagresión hacia chicas con las que mantenían o mantienen una relación de noviazgo. Esta tasa de prevalencia obtenida es superior a la informada por Peskin y colaboradores (2017), aunque menor de la evidenciada en otros trabajos (Bennett et al, 2011;Durán y Martínez-Pecino, 2015;FRA, 2014). Asimismo, los datos apuntan a una mayor incidencia de ciberagresión hacia ex parejas.…”

“…El ciberacoso es concebido como un tipo de violencia psicológica y relacional (Bennett, Guran, Ramos y Margolin, 2011;Cowie, 2013 Por otra parte, la literatura ha señalado ciertas variables que podrían ayudar a explicar el ciberacoso como los celos (Schenk, Fremouw y Keelan, 2013;Varjas et al, 2010), la venganza, la ira, el odio o la antipatía (Gradinger, Strohmeier y Spiel, 2012;Raskauskas y Stoltz, 2007;Schenk, Fremouw y Keelan, 2013).
