数字约会虐待是一个术语，用来描述浪漫伴侣之间通过短信、社交媒体和相关的在线媒体发生的身体、性或心理/情感暴力。调查数据来自具有全国代表性的2218名有过恋爱关系的美国中学生和高中生（12-17岁）。在过去的一年里，有恋爱关系的学生中约有28%是网络约会滥用的受害者。男性更有可能报告有过这种经历（32%对24%），尽管没有其他人口统计学上的差异。有几个协变量确实与数字约会虐待的经历显著相关，包括抑郁症状、性交、性短信和成为网络欺凌的受害者。到目前为止，经历过线下约会虐待是最强烈的关联。讨论了对学校和社区内预防和政策的影响，以及对这一重要领域未来研究的考虑。
Digital dating abuse is a term used to describe physical, sexual, or psychological/emotional violence that occurs between romantic partners through the use of texting, social media, and related online mediums. Survey data were obtained from a nationally representative sample of 2,218 American middle and high school students (12-17 years old) who have been in a romantic relationship. About 28% of students in a relationship in the previous year had been the victim of digital dating abuse. Males were more likely to report having experienced it (32% compared to 24%), though no other demographic differences emerged. Several covariates did emerge as significantly related to experience with digital dating abuse, including depressive symptoms, sexual intercourse, sexting, and being the victim of cyberbullying. Experiencing offline dating abuse was by far the strongest correlate. Implications for prevention and policy within schools and the community are discussed, along with considerations for future research in this important area.
