Abstract(s)
yber Dating Abuse (CDA) has been identified as a prevalent and negative experience for youth, which highlights
the need to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of this phenomenon. Thus, this meta-analysis aims
to determine the factors associated with youth CDA perpetration and victimization, identifying which of the factors
present the strongest risk and protective effects. We identified 16 studies and 17 independent samples, including
a total sample of 12,760 adolescents and young adults. Results showed that individual and intimate relation
factors were related to both CDA perpetration and victimization, and peer factors were significantly associated
with CDA perpetration; individual sociodemographic factors were unrelated to CDA. Findings from this metaanalysis provide valuable evidence to develop CDA prevention and intervention strategies.
