Abstract

Dating abuse research on lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations tends to aggregate LGB participants for comparisons with heterosexuals and often excludes nonassaultive dating abuse and abuse that takes place on online dating applications. In the present study, we used the Pew Research Center's 2019 American Trends Panel Wave 56 data set (n = 4712) to compare ever experiencing several types of nonassaultive on- and offline dating abuse between bisexual women (n = 402), lesbian women (n = 207), heterosexual women (n = 1802), bisexual men (n = 225), gay men (n = 575), and heterosexual men (n = 1501). We found that gay men and bisexual women generally had the greatest odds of experiencing online dating abuse. Bisexual and heterosexual women had the greatest odds of experiencing some offline abuse (eg, being touched in an uncomfortable way), but gay men, bisexual women, and bisexual men had the greatest odds of experiencing other offline abuse (eg, having their contact information or a sexual image of them shared nonconsensually). Findings highlight how assessments of nonassaultive dating abuse in on- and offline contexts via analyses of more specified gender/sex and sexual identity groups can broaden understandings of dating abuse victimization, especially among sexual minority populations.

在线和离线遭受心理虐待和性虐待的风险：双性恋、男同性恋/女同性恋和异性恋男女的比较。

针对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）人群的约会虐待研究往往将 LGB 参与者集中起来与异性恋者进行比较，而且往往不包括非侵犯性约会虐待和在线约会应用程序上发生的虐待。在本研究中，我们使用皮尤研究中心 2019 年美国趋势小组第 56 波数据集（N = 4712），比较了双性恋女性（n = 402）、女同性恋女性（n = 207）、异性恋女性（n = 1802）、双性恋男性（n = 225）、男同性恋男性（n = 575）和异性恋男性（n = 1501）之间曾经经历的几种类型的非攻击性在线和离线约会虐待。我们发现，一般来说，男同性恋者和双性恋女性遭受网恋虐待的几率最大。双性恋和异性恋女性遭受某些离线虐待（如被人以不舒服的方式触摸）的几率最大，但男同性恋者和双性恋男女遭受其他离线虐待（如被人在未经同意的情况下分享其联系方式或性图像）的几率最大。研究结果突出表明，通过分析更具体的性别/性/性身份群体来评估在线和离线环境下的非攻击性约会虐待，可以拓宽对约会虐待受害情况的理解，尤其是在性少数群体中。
