“…In most cases more time spent online increased the likelihood of victimization regardless of how time spent was measured (Bossler et al, 2012; Kraft & Wang, 2010; Lindsay & Krysik, 2012; Paullet & Chawdhry, 2020; Van Ouytsel et al, 2018; Wick et al, 2017). Although, when Paullet and Chawdhry (2020) examined whether the time spent on each social networking site (SNS) was significantly related to victimization, contrary to what was expected, time spent on SNSs such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat were not significantly related but the use of email, websites and messaging apps were. In contrast, Berry and Bainbridge (2017) found no specific SNSs or type of internet use to be significantly related to victimization.…”

In recent years the body of literature on cyberstalking has expanded rapidly. The present work aimed to summarize the current state of the literature on cyberstalking perpetration and victimization in a scoping review. Forty-one quantitative and qualitative studies that examined variables relating to cyberstalking victimization and perpetration were collated. Following the methodology of Arksey and O’Malley (2005), an in-depth thematic analysis of the articles was undertaken. Prevalence of victimization and perpetration rates were compared and key themes synthesized. Despite examining similar young adult populations, the prevalence of victimization was found to range considerably from 0.7% (Reyns & Engelbrecht, 2010) to 85.2% (Strawhun et al., 2013) across studies. Themes were divided into two overarching classifications, factors relating to victimization and factors relating to perpetration. Deviant peer association, low self-control, previous harassment experiences and personality traits were some of the factors most frequently examined in relation to perpetration; whilst online exposure, online disclosure and guardianship were some of the factors most frequently examined in relation to victimization. Within these themes, deviant peer association and low self-control were found to consistently correlate with an increase in both cyberstalking victimization and perpetration. Guardianship and confidence online demonstrated inconsistent results. This review has summarized what is currently known and has been validated within cyberstalking research pertaining to victimization and perpetration, and has identified gaps and potential areas of future development.

“…With increasing use of social media and other forms of online communication (Paullet & Chawdhry, 2020), opportunities for cyberstalking have also grown. As such, there is a need to better our understanding of some of the potential correlates and predictors of cyberstalking perpetration and victimization.…”

“…As stated by Paullet and Chawdhry (2020), the growth and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in society have brought numerous benefits, as well as a large number of detriments (Cabello, 2013), mainly for the youth population as the predominant sector in digital consumption. The growing number of investigations in the field of digital violence evidences the notable increase in cases in which abuse and harassment occurring among users of virtual spaces are reported and denounced, giving rise to an emerging social and public health problem (Jaén et al, 2017).…”

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have brought about new forms of contact and interpersonal relationships, as well as a new space in which to deploy digital violence in the form of abuse, harassment, intimidation and behaviours of control and coercion through electronic media. This research analyses whether ICTs are the cause of a new form of digital violence and studies the prevalence of this digital violence exercised through screens among university couples. Applying a quantitative methodology, a two-stage random cluster sampling of 528 (MAge = 24.29; SD = 21.41; 69.5 % female) Spanish university students was carried out. As a research instrument, we used the Digital Violence Questionnaire (DVQ), created for the detection, measurement and analysis of digital violence within affective-sexual relationships, which is composed of seven factors and a total of 55 variables presented in 30 items. The main results by factors were:

“…Following Paullet and Chawdhry (2020), the rapid uptake and growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has influenced the interpersonal relationships of their users (Alonso and Raigada 2014) and the young population, as their main consumers. The internet, social networks and digital media facilitate a new form of human contact while bringing with them new risks and harms (Cabello Cádiz 2013).…”

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have given rise to new forms of contact as well as new forms of violence. This research analyses whether ICTs are the cause of a new form of digital violence and studies the prevalence of this digital violence exercised through screens among university couples. A quantitative and qualitative methodology was applied in this study: a non-probabilistic purposive or discretionary sample of 303 (Age = 22.79; SD = 47.32; 58.7% male), with the use of an ad hoc questionnaire, and two focus groups of students studying in the same country. The results reveal a prevalence of 51.04% in the perception of digital violence through electronic devices in dating relationships among young people; 15.84% in the prevalence of digital violence in young couples’ relationships; 9.36% in the prevalence of traditional violence; and 35.78% in the tolerance of digital violence among young people. The results highlight a slightly higher prevalence of women compared with men in digital violence. We conclude that there is a significant prevalence of digital violence among these young couples in the university context, which should be the subject of the creation of different awareness-raising, prevention and specific training programmes against it.
