“…Zweig et al (2013) found that female students were more often victims of cyber sexual abuse than male, but they were less often victims of non-sexual cyber abuse. In Deans and Bhogal's (2017) study, gender was significantly associated with CDA, with women reporting less perpetration of CDA than men, contrary to other previous studies (e.g., Bennett et al, 2011;Burke et al, 2011) were women were more likely than men to perpetrate controlling online behaviors. These inconsistent findings have been attributed to the fact that men and women perpetrated CDA differently: men tend to perpetrate more direct acts of aggression (Perry & Pauletti 2011;Taylor & Xia, 2018) while women more indirect acts (Hyde, 2005), such as monitoring behaviors (Taylor & Xia, 2018).…”

Cyber Dating Abuse (CDA) has been identified as a prevalent and negative experience for youth, which highlights the need to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of this phenomenon. Thus, this meta-analysis aims to determine the factors associated with youth CDA perpetration and victimization, identifying which of the factors present the strongest risk and protective effects. We identified 16 studies and 17 independent samples, including a total sample of 12,760 adolescents and young adults. Results showed that individual and intimate relation factors were related to both CDA perpetration and victimization, and peer factors were significantly associated with CDA perpetration; individual sociodemographic factors were unrelated to CDA. Findings from this meta-analysis provide valuable evidence to develop CDA prevention and intervention strategies.

“…These results show the importance of better understanding the risk factors that may be at the origin of these abusive behaviours. As an example, in an exploratory study involving 189 participants, Deans and Bhogal [ 58 ] found that some psychological factors, such as hostility and behavioural jealousy, explained CDA perpetration, thus highlighting the importance to understand the nature of these abusive behaviours.…”

The increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and networking has promoted the occurrence of different forms of victimization, specifically in terms of interpersonal interaction (e.g., cyberbullying or online risk-taking behaviour), which also includes cyber dating abuse (CDA). Some studies report that CDA is an extension of offline dating abuse (ODA). Because Portuguese studies in this area are scarce, this study aims to bridge this knowledge gap, seeking to investigate the extent and the context of CDA occurrence, and the relationship between CDA and all forms of ODA, i.e., physical, verbal–emotional and control. A convenience sample of 173 Portuguese adolescents and young adults was studied. This sample is mostly female (86.7%), has a mean (M) age of 25.36 years old and a standard deviation (SD) of 6.88 years of age. The results show that CDA and ODA among the Portuguese are very prevalent and related. Control (31.8 vs. 20.8%) and verbal–emotional ODA (26.7 vs. 20.2%) as well as control CDA (38.2 vs. 43.4%) were the most prevalent forms of abuse, either in terms of victimization or in terms of perpetration. The results also showed that CDA usually appears in a context of jealousy, also explaining control CDA and CDA direct aggression. A significant relationship between control CDA and CDA direct aggression and physical, verbal–emotional and control ODA was found. Experiencing control and verbal–emotional ODA are the main risk factors of control CDA victimization. This study allows to lay the groundwork for further research on dating victimization and perpetration through ICT, and has important practical implications at the level of Portuguese prevention strategies and intervention policies, thus emphasizing the role of the official authorities and the law itself.

“…Many other studies have analyzed the differences in implication depending on the participants' gender, but their results have provided mixed results. Some researchers indicate that men have higher perpetration rates [25], while others have found higher victimization rates for men [26]. Other studies contradict these results and state that women present higher perpetration [18,27] and victimization [27][28][29] rates, or have found no significant differences between genders [23].…”

Cyber Dating Abuse and Masculine Gender Norms in a Sample of Male Adults

2019

Gender role norms have been widely studied in the offline partner violence context. Different studies have indicated that internalizing these norms was associated with dating violence. However, very few research works have analyzed this relation in forms of aggression against partners and former partners using information and communication technologies (ICT). The objective of the present study was to examine the co-occurrence of cyber dating abuse by analyzing the extent to which victimization and perpetration overlap, and by analyzing the differences according to conformity to the masculine gender norms between men who are perpetrators or victims of cyber dating abuse. The participants were 614 male university students, and 26.5% of the sample reported having been a victim and perpetrator of cyber dating abuse. Nonetheless, the regression analyses did not reveal any statistically significant association between conformity to masculine gender norms and practicing either perpetration or victimization by cyber dating abuse.
