Cyber-dating abuse in young adult couples: Relations with sexist attitudes and violence justification, smartphone usage and impulsivity
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2021-06) Linares-Martínez, Rocío; Aranda-López, María; García-Domingo, Marta; Amezcua-Aguilar, Teresa; Fuentes-Gutiérrez, Virginia María; Moreno-Padilla, María
Technologies have become important for interaction in couples. However, in some cases, controlling and aggressive behaviors can occur in the context of virtual interactions in couples; this is known as cyber-dating abuse (CDA). Identifying factors linked to CDA, as perpetrator and victim, are relevant for its prevention; therefore, more research is needed in this novel field of study. To contribute to the literature, our first goal was to analyze the associations among certain risk factors for CDA perpetration and victimization of, i.e., sexist attitudes and violence justification, problematic smartphone usage and impulsivity; sex and age were also considered. The second goal was to study whether there were differences in direct aggression and control, from the perpetrator and victim perspectives, with consideration of the above-mentioned risk factors. Third, differences in the diverse range of control behaviors and direct aggression between women and men were explored. To this end, 697 young adults (aged between 18 and 35 years; 548 women) completed self-report questionnaires that allowed assessment of the above-mentioned variables. The results showed that, among the wide range of CDA behaviors, indirect ones such as control behaviors were the most common. The highest level of control was strongly associated with the inability to manage behaviors under certain emotional states, especially negative ones, along with problematic smartphone usage. Sex differences were also observed: men displayed more sexist attitudes and violence justification, and perceived that they were more controlled by their partners. Regarding CDA behaviors, men and women showed differences in control (e.g. men considered themselves to be more controlled in terms of location and status updates), and direct aggression (e.g. men used more insults and humiliations than women). The results were discussed in terms of the importance of better understanding these risk factors to attenuate the increasing prevalence of CDA in relationships.
EDAS-18: validación de la versión corta de la escala de dependencia y adicción al smartphone
(Sociedad Chilena de Psicología Clínica (SCPC), 2020-12) García-Domingo, Marta; Fuentes-Gutiérrez, Virginia María; Pérez-Padilla, Javier; Aranda-López, María
La Escala de Dependencia y Adicción al Smartphone-EDAS, publicada en 2017, es uno de los instrumentos más recientes validados en población adulta para el estudio de las conductas adictivas derivadas del uso del smartphone. El objetivo del estudio fue la validación de la versión corta del instrumento, implicando la revisión de las propiedades psicométricas de los ítems y su dimensionalidad. Se contó con una muestra de 606 participantes jóvenes y adultos (de 18 a 48 años). Tras el ajuste psicométrico de los ítems y el análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, los 40 reactivos iniciales se redujeron a 18, quedando agrupados en un solo factor. El instrumento fue renombrado como EDAS-18, alcanzando una consistencia interna de α = .88 y diversas evidencias de validez. Los resultados replican los hallazgos previos sobre las diferencias en el uso del smartphone en función del sexo y la edad.
Emotional intelligence and adult attachment: effects on problematic smartphone usage
(Editum, 2022-01) Aranda-López, María; García-Domingo, Marta; Fuentes-Gutiérrez, Virginia María; Linares-Martínez, Rocío
Smartphone usage can become problematic when individuals have difficulties in emotional regulation. To clarify risk factors for problematic smartphone usage, the study had three objectives: To analyze the effect of emotional intelligence and attachment dimensions on smartphone usage; to evaluate differences by types and styles of attachment in problematic smartphone usage; to explore the roles of sex and age. For this purpose, the Smartphone Dependency and Addiction Scale, the Wong & Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, and the Adult Attachment Questionnaire were used. The study included 552 young adults (M = 21.79, SD = 2.66; 74.1% women) selected by purposive sampling, and classified in Generation Z and Millennials. The results showed that low awareness of one's emotions (emotional intelligence), poor self-esteem and need for approval, hostile conflict resolution, rancor, and possessiveness (attachment) predicted problematic smartphone usage. Furthermore, insecure type of attachment and negative styles such as fearfulness were closely related to smartphone addiction. Sex had some explanatory power with respect to device use, with women showing higher levels of problematic smartphone usage. In conclusion, the findings support the importance of the secure and positive attachment system, and being able to evaluate and regulate one’s own emotions for preventing problematic smartphone use.
Variables Contributing to the Awareness of Online Gendered Violence: Focus on Observers
(SAGE, 2022-12) Aranda-López, María; García-Domingo, Marta; Montes-Berges, Beatriz; Fuentes-Gutiérrez, Virginia María
The study aimed to examine variables that could contribute to the awareness of online gendered violence (OGV). For this, an online survey was used. First, we assessed whether sexism and violence justification affect awareness of gender-based cyberviolence. Second, this effect was evaluated considering the smartphone usage. Third, we studied differences in awareness of OGV according to gender, digital generation, and academic field of study. Fourth, we tested for multiple associations of attitudinal variables, smartphone usage, and sociodemographic variables with OGV. The study involved 453 young adults from the Andalucia region, Spain (Mage = 21.9, SD = 2.15; 64% women). The results showed that, with more sexist attitudes and normalization of violence, the limits regarding what constitute gender-based violence in digital media are more permissive (less awareness). Regarding smartphone use, when it became problematic, desensitization to cyberviolence against women and sexual and gender minorities increased. Multiple correspondence analysis revealed an observer profile, that is, a woman studying for a humanistic or healthcare career who does not believe in psychosocial sex differences, or that violence as a reaction is justified, and also does not support biological fatalism of sexism and violence. This observer also has high awareness of the cyber-behaviors that constitute OGV. In conclusion, this study provides key data for psychoeducational strategies aiming to increase awareness of gender-based cyberviolence.
