Abstract
ABSTRACT Whereas “traditional” forms of intimate partner violence have been socially constructed as abusive, it is unclear whether intimate partner cyber abuse (IPCA) is socially constructed as abusive. We couple the social constructionist framework with an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data collected via a 2019 TurkPrime survey of U.S. adults in intimate relationships (N = 1,486). Approximately 38% of respondents did not identify any IPCA behaviors as abusive. Open-ended responses suggest some view these behaviors as acceptable in certain contexts. However, many believed certain behaviors could constitute abuse. The implications of our findings for research and prevention efforts are discussed.
