How can gender cyberviolence be measured? The validation of an instrument and some results Authors Trinidad Donoso Vázquez Universitat de Barcelona M.

Abstract The aim of this study is to present an instrument for measuring gender cyberviolence and to analyze the perceptions and experiences of adolescents, together with their responses to such violence. For this purpose, a questionnaire was addressed to 3,043 teens from Catalonia, Aragon, Galicia, Andalusia, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The results show that adolescents believe that there is more violence online than offline. They are aware of the most direct and obvious actions related to sexual violence, although behaviors that are less frequently perceived to be violent are the treatment of women as a sexual object, and in particular, the controlling of a girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s online behavior. The responses of the adolescents to gender cyberviolence are passive. It is concluded that the instrument is appropriate for measuring gender cyberviolence and that educational interventions are necessary to prepare adolescents for this phenomenon.
