Description
Summary:Information and Communication Technologies are being used to exert violence of various types, which adolescents are the main protagonists of these unfortunate violent behaviors. This study aimed to analyze cyber-aggression behaviors in adolescent dating relationships, specifically, in a sample of 206 high school students from Huelva. In addition, it was studied the relationship between the presence of sexist beliefs, romantic jealousy and other manifestations of psychological violence with this type of violence towards girls. The results support the hypotheses of this work and show a significant percentage of boys who have exerted cyber-aggression to partners or former partners. Moreover, regression analysis showed that this practice was explained by the sexist beliefs of boys, especially hostile ones, and the presence of romantic jealousy, as well as by other traditional forms of psychological violence. These results show that attitudes and beliefs based on sexism and jealousy are situated behind the violence in intimate relationships at an early age, which in turn transcends to the virtual world.
