Description
Summary:Cyberbullying or online abuse is a very topical problem. The present study aimed to explore the psychometric properties of the Online Dating Abuse Questionnaire by Borrajo, Gámez-Guadix, Pereda, and Calvete (2015). An intentional sample of 526 adults was constituted, with 80% women and 20% men (M age = 37.8). Results of both confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses yielded a two-dimensional structure, both for cybervictimization and cyberbullying. Internal consistency was adequate. Concurrent validity of the scores regarding the use of new technologies, trolling, dark personality and emotional problems was detected. Gender and age also introduced differences in this regard.
