Abstract(s)
Apesar dos efeitos positivos associados às tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC’s) no processo de socialização dos/as jovens (e.g., capacidade de exercer autocontrolo, promover tolerância e respeito pelos outros, expressar os sentimentos adequadamente, exercitar o pensamento crítico e a tomada de decisões), também têm sido documentados efeitos negativos (e.g., cyberbullying ou comportamentos de risco online), incluindo ciberabuso no namoro (CAN). Alguns estudos têm documentado que o CAN é uma extensão da violência de namoro offline (VNO). Por isso, esta dissertação procura averiguar se isto se verifica, resumindo os resultados da análise da associação entre CAN e VNO numa amostra de 145 adolescentes e jovens adultos/as portugueses/as, a maioria do sexo feminino (89%), com idade média de 23.54 anos e desvio padrão (DP) de 4.01 anos. Os resultados mostram que o CAN e a VNO são muito prevalentes entre os/as jovens portugueses/as envolvidos/as em relações amorosas, e que ambos os tipos de abuso foram positivamente associados em termos de vitimação e perpetração. A coocorrência de CAN e VNO sinaliza a importância de encontrar estratégias adicionais para incentivar o uso mais cauteloso das TIC’s, a fim de prevenir situações específicas entre parceiros amorosos, capazes de desencadear o comportamento abusivo.
Despite the positive effects associated with information and communication technologies (ICTs) on youth socialization process (e.g., ability to exercise self-control, to promote tolerance and respect for others, to adequately express feelings, to exercise critical thinking, and to make decisions), negative effects have also been documented (e.g., cyberbullying or online risk taking behaviour), including cyber dating abuse (CDA). Some studies have been documenting that CDA is an extension of offline dating violence (ODV). Accordingly, this dissertation seeks to ascertain whether this occurs, summarizingthe findings when analyzingthe association between CDA and ODV in a sample of 145 Portuguese adolescents and young adults, mostly female (89%), with mean age of 23.54 and standard deviation (SD) of 4.01 years. Results show that CDA and ODV are very prevalent among Portuguese youth involved in dating relationships and that both types of abuse were positively associated in terms of victimization and perpetration. The co-occurrence of CDA and ODV signals the importance of finding additional strategies to encourage more cautious use of ICTs in order to prevent specific situations between dating partners, able to trigger abusive behaviour.
