Resumo
O uso da tecnologia e das redes sociais revolucionou a dinâmica dos
relacionamentos abusivos. Investigação prévia focou-se na prevalência da violência no
namoro por via de meios tecnológicos entre a população adolescente, bem como nas
características associadas à (potencial) vitimização. E, embora grandes avanços tenham sido
feitos nesta área científica, pouco se sabe sobre as características associadas à sua
perpetração com amostras de outras faixas etárias (e.g., jovens adultos). Como tal, este
estudo visa obter uma melhor compreensão das relações entre a perpetração da violência no
namoro por via de meios tecnológicos e características como idade, sexo, comportamento
criminoso prévio e atual e atitudes em relação à violência no namoro, explorando se estas
associações são de natureza preditiva. A amostra, de conveniência não probabilística, foi
constituída por 521 participantes recrutados por meio de vários canais, através da divulgação
do estudo em redes sociais e website institucional. Testes de qui-quadrado e regressões
lineares hierárquicas revelaram associações significativas entre perpetração da violência no
namoro por via de meios tecnológicos e sexo, idade, comportamento criminoso não violento
nos últimos 12 meses, e atitudes em relação à violência no namoro. Os resultados foram
interpretados em relação a estudos prévios e à literatura atual. Implicações e sugestões para
futuros trabalhos de investigação foram discutidas.
The use of technology and social networks has revolutionised the dynamics of abusive relationships. Previous research has focused on the prevalence of cyber dating violence (CDV) among the adolescent population as well as the characteristics associated with its victimisation. Whilst great strides have been made in this area of research, little is known regarding the characteristics associated with its perpetration with older samples. As such, this study aims to analyse the relationships between CDV perpetration and certain characteristics such as age, sex, historic/present criminal behaviour, and attitudes toward dating violence, and whether these associations are predictive in nature. Therefore, this study hopes to gain a better understanding as to which characteristics are associated with CDV perpetration and why. Five hundred and twenty-one participants were collected as part of a non-probabilistic convenience sample and recruited through various channels such as social media and websites. Chi-square tests and hierarchical linear regressions revealed significant associations between CDV perpetration and age, sex, non-violent criminal behaviour in the last 12 months, and attitudes toward dating violence. More specifically, results were interpreted in relation to previous findings and current literature. Implications and suggestions for future research were discussed.
