While the proliferation of online social platforms has become a significant part of virtual interactions between intimate partners, digital technology has also created the conditions for increased control and abuse, which is known as “cyber-dating abuse,” a technology-facilitated form of intimate partner violence. This paper reports a scoping review of qualitative studies to explore the patterns, nature, and consequences of cyber-dating abuse among young people and how digital technology influences dating abuse. Several databases were searched to find relevant papers, including EBSCOhost, Scopus, SocINDEX, ProQuest, Taylor and Francis Online, PubMed, and Google Scholar. All peer-reviewed papers that used qualitative and mixed methods exploring cyber-dating abuse since 2010 were scanned, and 23 papers were included in this scoping review. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Findings showed that online platforms and digital technology have potentially exacerbated the monitoring, control, and surveillance of young women, often by young men. This scoping review also found a mixed report of gender-based victimization in relation to cyber-dating abuse; however, girls were more likely to face severe and negative consequences compared to boys. Gender-based societal norms and associated behavioral and social factors may increase the risk of cyber-dating abuse among young women. The scoping review reinforces the importance and value of preventative and early identification strategies in young people’s school-based education, with a sharp focus on violence and abuse in the online space, respectful relationships, and informed consent in intimate relationships.

青少年网络约会虐待的经历以及通过技术进行虐待的模式，范围界定审查

虽然在线社交平台的激增已成为亲密伴侣之间虚拟互动的重要组成部分，但数字技术也为增加控制和滥用创造了条件，这被称为“网络约会滥用”，这是一种技术促进的亲密形式。伴侣暴力。本文报告了对定性研究的范围审查，以探讨年轻人中网络约会滥用的模式、性质和后果，以及数字技术如何影响约会滥用。搜索了多个数据库以查找相关论文，包括 EBSCOhost、Scopus、SocINDEX、ProQuest、Taylor and Francis Online、PubMed 和 Google Scholar。自 2010 年以来，对所有使用定性和混合方法探索网络约会滥用的同行评审论文进行了扫描，本次范围界定审查中纳入了 23 篇论文。采用主题分析来分析数据。调查结果显示，在线平台和数字技术有可能加剧对年轻女性（通常是年轻男性）的监视、控制和监控。此次范围界定审查还发现，与网络约会滥用相关的基于性别的受害报告好坏参半；然而，与男孩相比，女孩更有可能面临严重和负面的后果。基于性别的社会规范以及相关的行为和社会因素可能会增加年轻女性遭受网络约会虐待的风险。范围界定审查强调了青少年校本教育中预防性和早期识别策略的重要性和价值，重点关注网络空间中的暴力和虐待、尊重的关系以及亲密关系中的知情同意。
