“…Besides that, avoidant attachment style also has been shown to be the prevalent attachment style in experiencing emotional abusive events, such as verbal aggression (Aloia & Solomon, 2015;Basting et al, 2022). Similarly, this attachment style happened on Malaysian young adults, which avoidant attachment was commonly exhibited, especially male (Khodarahimi et al, 2016;Ng et al, 2013).…”

With an emerging phenomenon of emotional abuse among Malaysian male young adults in romantic relationship, this single case study aims to explore the experiences and decision-making processes of Malaysian Chinese male young adult who decided to terminate an emotional abusive relationship. Case study method allows the full coverage and in-depth investigation towards this current phenomenon. This study utilizes three data collection methods, they are semi-structured interview with follow-up interview, psychometric tests, and social media texts analysis. The theoretical framework of this study includes FOG – Fear, Obligation, Guilt, Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, and Choice Theory Reality Therapy. Seven themes emerged to capture the experiences during and after the abusive romantic relationship, which are ‘interactive abuse’, ‘over thinking’, ‘emotional distress – guilty, helplessness, and fear’, ‘progressive abuse’, ‘positive and negative self-condition’, ‘internal conflict’, and ‘prioritization of self-value’. Three themes are pointed out to explain the decision-making process of Malaysian male young adult, which are ‘self-centred decision’, ‘fear of losing’, and ‘prioritization of mental health’. The implications of findings, limitations of the study and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile genç kadınlarda siber flört istismarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türde olan çalışma 05-31 Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında bir devlet üniversitesinin 2023-2024 öğretim yılında eğitim gören 228 kadın öğrenci dahil edilerek yapılmıştır. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Siber Flört İstismarı Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama ve standart sapma olarak sunulmuştur. Verilerin karşılaştırmalı analizinde Bağımsız Gruplar t testi ve Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (One-Way Anova) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Genç kadınların siber flört istismarı davranışına maruz kalma ortalaması 29,66±11,32, doğrudan saldırganlığa maruz kalma ortalaması 12,46±4,67, izleme kontrol maruz kalma ortalaması ise 17,19±8,48’dir. Ayrıca siber flört istismarı davranışını sergileme ortalaması 29,63±8,78, doğrudan saldırganlık davranışını sergileme ortalaması 12,07±2,25, izleme kontrol davranışını sergileme ortalaması ise 17,56±7,69’dur. Genç kadınlardan daha önce flört deneyimi olanların, olmayanlara göre siber flört istismarı davranışını sergileme izleme kontrol alt boyutu puan ortalamaları daha yüksekti ve gruplar arası fark önemli idi (p

“…Attachment anxiety (i.e., individuals predisposed relational orientation toward rejection and abandonment) is particularly predictive of various types of IPV, including psychological forms (i.e., controlling behaviors; Velotti et al, 2022) and has been shown to manifest itself in exaggerated attempts to monitor and control a former partner through electronic means (Bhogal & Howman, 2019). For example, college students with high levels of attachment anxiety have been shown to perpetrate more CDA (Toplu-Demirtaş et al, 2022), perhaps to relieve distress associated with perceived distance and disconnection (Basting et al, 2023). Additionally, attachment anxiety has been linked to increased attention to distress-eliciting stimuli (Silva et al, 2012), which may be further compounded by alcohol use, which not only is known to decrease self-regulatory processes (e.g., emotional regulation) but also increases attention to emotionally affective cues (e.g., Brem, Stuart et al, 2019).…”

Technology-facilitated intimate partner violence (T-IPV), including social media surveillance (SMS) and cyber dating abuse (CDA), are increasingly common post-breakup experiences among college students. Although a large body of research has focused on identifying risk factors for both types of T-IPV, perpetrators of T-IPV may differ in their pattern of risk factors. Using the I3 model as a guiding framework, the current study sought to identify typologies of college students engaging in post-breakup SMS and CDA. Specifically, 710 college students’ responses on self-report measures were examined for similarities in known risk factors, namely attachment anxiety, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotion regulation strategies, intolerance of uncertainty, distress tolerance, and problematic alcohol use. Three distinct perpetrator profiles emerged with attachment anxiety, alcohol use, and intolerance of uncertainty presenting as distinguishing features. Problematic alcohol use was evident in the moderate and high levels of SMS and CDA perpetration profiles. Contrary to what was expected, there appeared to be little variability in emotional regulation and impulse control abilities across the three profiles such that individuals belonging to low and high perpetration profiles did not differ in the degree to which they were able to control their impulses or access emotion regulation strategies. Results highlight the potential importance of tailoring interventions, while reducing transdiagnostic risk factors, to account for the heterogeneity in risk factors among T-IPV perpetrators.
