Resumo(s)
Objective: This study examined the association between cyber dating abuse (CDA), Dark Triad personality traits, loneliness, and hostility, as well as the moderating role of sociodemographic variables (e.g., sex and age) and psychosocial variables (loneliness and hostility) in the relationship between dark triad traits and CDA. Method: A quantitative crosssectional design was employed with a sample of 603 Portuguese participants. The following instruments were administered: a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire, the Dirty Dozen, the Hostility subscale of the Brief Symptom Inventory, and the UCLA Loneliness Scale – Short Form. Results: The findings indicated a high prevalence of CDA, with 20.3% of participants reporting perpetration. Dark triad traits, hostility, and loneliness were significantly associated with both victimization and perpetration. Moderation analyses showed that loneliness and social network use moderated the relationship between dark triad traits and CDA. Conclusions: Although victims and perpetrators shared several psychosocial characteristics, perpetrators were more likely to report involvement in noncommitted relationships lasting longer than one year and higher levels of loneliness.
