Research about technology-based abuse (TBA) has primarily relied on youth-focused survey research, leading to gaps in knowledge about the experiences of TBA among adult populations. However, studies among adult intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors suggest that TBA is a pervasive problem warranting attention. This study builds on the limited existing literature about adult experiences of TBA by examining patterns of TBA among adult abuse survivors ( n = 377). Latent class analysis showed three distinct patterns of TBA: technology-based emotional abuse, technology-based monitoring, and technology-based control. Multinomial regression analyses demonstrated that TBA co-occurs with offline IPV. Findings reinforce the significant role of TBA in adult IPV survivors’ lives and highlight the importance of assessing for TBA among survivors.

成人亲密伴侣暴力幸存者中基于技术的虐待模式及其与线下虐待的关联


关于技术性虐待 (TBA) 的研究主要依赖于以青少年为中心的调查研究，导致成年人口对技术性虐待经历的了解存在差距。然而，对成年亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 幸存者的研究表明，TBA 是一个普遍存在的问题，值得关注。本研究以有关成人 TBA 经历的有限现有文献为基础，通过研究成人虐待幸存者中的 TBA 模式（n = 377）。潜在类别分析显示了 TBA 的三种不同模式：基于技术的情感虐待、基于技术的监控和基于技术的控制。多项回归分析表明TBA与离线IPV同时发生。研究结果强化了 TBA 在成年 IPV 幸存者生活中的重要作用，并强调了评估幸存者 TBA 的重要性。
