Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to document the prevalence and consequences of technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) among college students and examine whether gender identity and sexual identity are associated with TFA exposure and related academic and mental health consequences. Data were analyzed from a campus climate survey distributed in Spring 2022. Data from 1,543 college students were collected for TFA experiences, academic consequences, and TFA-related depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to test for unique contributions of sexual identity, gender identity, and number of TFA experiences to the outcomes of academic consequences, depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. The number of TFA experiences was a significant predictor across all models. The contributions of sexual identity and gender identity differed for each outcome. The results of this study align with prior research which has found sexual identity and gender identity to affect outcomes associated with TFA. In addition, TFA was more prevalent among sexual and gender minority students, and the consequences of TFA were more severe within this population. These results suggest that programming takes a dual approach in addressing TFA through reducing TFA exposure and mitigating the impacts of TFA on mental health and other outcomes.

大学生中由技术促成的虐待：按性别和性取向划分的普遍性、后果和检查情况

这项调查的目的是记录大学生中技术辅助虐待（TFA）的普遍程度和后果，并研究性别认同和性认同是否与技术辅助虐待的暴露以及相关的学业和心理健康后果有关。数据分析来自 2022 年春季发放的校园环境调查。调查收集了 1543 名大学生的 TFA 经历、学业后果以及与 TFA 相关的抑郁、焦虑和创伤性压力的数据。我们进行了多元线性回归分析，以检验性身份、性别身份和全职太太经历的数量对学业后果、抑郁、焦虑和创伤压力结果的独特贡献。在所有模型中，全美橄榄球联盟经历的次数都是一个重要的预测因素。性身份和性别身份对每种结果的影响各不相同。本研究的结果与之前的研究结果一致，之前的研究发现性身份和性别身份会影响与 TFA 相关的结果。此外，全日制教育在性少数群体和性别少数群体学生中更为普遍，全日制教育的后果在这一群体中也更为严重。这些结果表明，在解决 TFA 问题时，应通过减少 TFA 暴露和减轻 TFA 对心理健康和其他结果的影响来制定双重方案。

It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
