Abstract(s)
O avanço das tecnologias digitais tem transformado profundamente a dinùmica das
relaçÔes amorosas entre os/as jovens, promovendo uma comunicação constante, mas também
abrindo espaço para novas formas de comportamentos abusivos, como o abuso cibernético no
namoro (Marganski & Melander, 2015; Smith, Ireland, Park, Elwyn, & Thornberry, 2011;
Strickland & Mosley, 2023; Villora, Yubero, & Navarro, 2019). A presente Dissertação teve
como objetivo analisar a relação entre o abuso cibernético no namoro e o ambiente familiar,
procurando compreender de que modo a dinùmica familiar poderå influenciar tanto a vitimação
como a perpetração de comportamentos abusivos em ambientes digitais.
O estudo baseou-se numa amostra, por conveniĂȘncia, de 286 jovens (15-25 anos),
maioritariamente do sexo feminino (84%), estudantes (85%) e residentes na RegiĂŁo Norte de
Portugal (57%), sendo que 65% dos/as participantes estavam envolvidos/as numa relação
amorosa no momento da investigação. A recolha de dados decorreu entre junho e julho de 2024,
através da plataforma Google Forms, utilizando-se, para o efeito, a versão portuguesa do Cyber
Dating Abuse Questionnaire (CibAN) e a Escala de Sinalização do Ambiente Natural Infantil
(SANI).
Os resultados revelaram que os participantes do sexo masculino reportaram nĂveis mais
elevados de perpetração de agressĂ”es diretas, bem como nĂveis ligeiramente superiores de
vitimação, ainda que, neste Ășltimo caso, sem alcançar uma significĂąncia estatĂstica robusta.
Importa ainda destacar que, a perpetração de abuso cibernético demonstrou estar mais
fortemente associada a dimensÔes de coerção e de controlo no ambiente familiar, em
comparação com a vitimação. Estes dados sugerem que jovens expostos/as a contextos
familiares marcados por dinùmicas coercivas e violentas tendem a reproduzir tais padrÔes nos
seus relacionamentos amorosos, inclusive no meio digital, reforçando, assim, a ligação entre a
violĂȘncia familiar e o abuso cibernĂ©tico no namoro. Neste sentido, salienta-se a importĂąncia do
desenvolvimento e da implementação de programas de prevenção que promovam a literacia
digital, a consciencialização sobre os riscos do abuso online e a construção de relaçÔes afetivas
saudĂĄveis, contribuindo para a consolidação de uma cultura de nĂŁo violĂȘncia.
The advance of digital technologies has profoundly transformed the dynamics of love relationships between young people, promoting constant communication but also opening space for new forms of abusive behavior, such as cyber dating abuse (Marganski & Melander, 2015; Smith, Ireland, Park, Elwyn, & Thornberry, 2011; Strickland & Mosley, 2023; Villora, Yubero, & Navarro, 2019). The aim of this Dissertation was to analyze the relationship between cyber dating abuse and the family environment, seeking to understand how family dynamics can influence both the victimization and perpetration of abusive behavior in digital environments. The study was based on a convenience sample of 286 young people (15-25 years old), mostly female (84 per cent), students (85 per cent) and living in the northern region of Portugal (57 per cent), 65 per cent of whom were involved in a romantic relationship at the time of the research. Data collection took place between June and July 2024 using the Google Forms platform, using the Portuguese version of the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire (CibAN) and Escala de Sinalização do Ambiente Natural Infantil (SANI). The results showed that male participants reported higher levels of direct aggression, as well as slightly higher levels of victimization, although in the latter case without reaching robust statistical significance. It is also important to note that the perpetration of cyber abuse has been shown to be more strongly associated with dimensions of coercion and control in the family environment, compared to victimization. These data suggest that young people exposed to family contexts marked by coercive and violent dynamics tend to reproduce such patterns in their romantic relationships, including in the digital environment, thus reinforcing the link between family violence and cyber dating abuse. In this sense, it is important to develop and implement prevention programmers that promote digital literacy, awareness of the risks of online abuse and the building of healthy emotional relationships, contributing to the consolidation of a culture of non-violence.
