    Gina Potarca · 2021 · Demography · 17 citations

    AbstractDigital technologies govern a large part of our social lives, including the pursuit of a romantic partner.

  4. Types of Male Adolescent Violence Against Women in Three Contexts: Dating Violence Offline, Dating Violence Online, and Sexual Harassment Online Outside a Relationship

    María José Díaz-Aguado, Rosario Martínez-Arias · 2022 · Frontiers in Psychology · 7 citations

    There has been little investigation of male adolescent violence against women as acknowledged by boys themselves, and even less on such violence in different contexts with comparative studies of behavior between those who perpetrate this violence and the population at large. This study used cluster analysis to establish a male adolescent typology based on boys’ self-reporting of violence against women in three contexts. The participants were 3,132 Spanish teenage boys aged 14–18 with experience of relationships with girls. Three discrete, identifiable types were obtained: the first group (69.8%), ofnon-violentboys; the second group (26%), more involved insexual harassment onlineoutside a rel

    Juliana E. French, Lindsay J. Bolton, Andrea L. Meltzer · 2024 · Personal Relationships · 2 citations

    Matthias Völcker, Sascha Landeck, Katharina Poltze, et al. · 2020 · Zeitschrift für Qualitative Forschung · 2 citations

    Wir beschäftigen uns in diesem Aufsatz mit Phänomenen netzgängiger Beziehungsinitiierung und der Relevanz von Dating-Apps im intersubjektiven Geschehen. Neben der skizzenhaften Aufarbeitung eines komplexen und ambivalenten Forschungsstandes stellen wir die Ergebnisse einer Interviewstudie mit Nutzer*innen solcher Apps vor. In der Auswertung des empirischen Materials, welches wir mithilfe der Grounded-Theory-Methodologie (GTM) realisierten, eröffnen wir Einblicke in technologisch vermittelte kommunikative Prozesse und arbeiten die (inter-)subjektive(n) Bedeutsamkeit(en) solcher Apps heraus.
