Abstract

Despite a growing recognition that technology-mediated communication is central to the lives of adolescents, little research has been published on the topic of cyber dating abuse. The few studies that exist have focused on community sample groups of youth, rather than high risk sample groups, who frequently present for mental health services. The goals of the study were as follows: 1) to observe the prevalence of cyber dating abuse among a high risk sample group of adolescent girls with histories of physical dating violence (DV); 2) to measure the longitudinal relationships between digital and in-person DV; and 3) to determine the impact of digital abuse on common DV correlates, such as depressive symptoms.
