| Abstract |
Technology- assisted dating violence is partner isolation via the controlling or monitoring of mobile or online accounts. Through electronic communication technology (ECT), partners can argue with one another, send threatening texts or voicemails, perpetrate emotional or verbal aggression, limit access to friends and family, utilize online emotional violence, humiliate or embarrass a partner, and instigate sexual pressure or unwarranted sexting. The mediums of electronic communication have developed throughout the years, allowing young adults to consume almost eleven hours of media daily. The facilitation of media and technology allow for communication in all stages of a relationship, including the establishment, maintenance, and ending of relationships. A recent study discovered that the most relevant forms of ECT that contribute to technology- assisted dating violence were texting and social networking sites. The research also concluded that females who experienced a continuum of emotionally abusive and controlling behaviors may feel pressured to send sexual images and interpret it as normal. The perceived norms of pressure to send and share sexts may be considered bullying and dating violence. For this project, I will be doing a literature review of a research piece that examines dating violence and electronic communication use in adolescent relationships. The findings of the study concluded the strong, negative effects that technology can have, along with the trends of ECT use in relationships. The research reviewed will help me gain a better understanding of technology’s role in romance.
