“Technology was designed for this”: Adolescents’ perceptions of the role and impact of the use of technology in cyber dating violence

作者:

Highlights:

• Adolescents perceive ICT to have both enabling and disenabling aspects for victims and instigators of CDV.

• ICT is viewed as enabling instigators of CDV by facilitating CDV behaviours.

• ICT is viewed as enabling victims of CDV to distance themselves from, report, respond to, and cope with indirect abuse.

• ICT is viewed as disenabling victims of CDV due to its unique and potentially more harmful impact than offline abuse.

• Implications are raised for educating adolescents about CDV and healthy responses to abusive experiences in relationships.
