Abstract
Cyber dating abuse involves intrusive electronic behaviors toward a romantic partner. While past research has treated cyber dating abuse as a single phenomenon, we examined cyber dating abuse as multifaceted, distinguishing between psychological and relational cyber dating abuse. This paper explored the roles of paranoia and digital jealousy in the perpetration of cyber dating abuse (N = 517 men and women in a nonclinical population). Data were collated via Qualtrics on social media platforms and the departmental research participation scheme. Persecution (paranoia, β = .321, p < .001) and digital jealousy (β = .350, p < .001) significantly predicted psychological cyber dating abuse, with persecution (β = .369, p < .001) and sex (β = -.106, p = .013) predicting relational cyber dating abuse. These findings are the first to collectively highlight the roles of digital jealousy, paranoia, and sex in cyber dating abuse, with implications for clinical and public health interventions aimed at reducing cyber dating abuse.
网络约会虐待包括对浪漫伴侣的侵入性电子行为。虽然过去的研究将网络约会虐待视为单一现象,但我们将网络约会虐待视为多方面的,区分了心理和关系网络约会虐待。本文探讨了偏执和数字嫉妒在网络约会虐待行为中的作用(N = 517名非临床人群中的男性和女性)。数据通过社交媒体平台和部门研究参与计划进行整理。迫害(偏执,β =。p p p p =。013)预测人际网络约会虐待。这些发现首次共同强调了数字嫉妒、偏执和性在网络约会虐待中的作用,对旨在减少网络约会虐待的临床和公共卫生干预具有启示意义。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. 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.
