Abstract

Dating cyber-violence (cyber-DV) affects men and women, albeit differently. Suffering cyber-DV can lead to employing coping strategies (CS) that increase suicide risk (SR). This study analyzes sex differences among young people in Colombia regarding the frequency of cyber-DV victimization and the use of CS (rumination and gratitude) to deal with couple conflicts, SR among cyber-DV victims, and predictor variables (cyber-DV, CS) of SR. A total of 482 university students (female:74.5 %) (Mage = 20.67, SD = 2.36; range: 18-26) in a heterosexual relationship participated. Results show that women report more frequency of cyber-DV than men, and within victims, they score higher than men in rumination use and SR. A higher frequency of suffered cyber-DV, higher rumination, and lower gratitude predict higher SR in women. The implementation of preventative interventions for DV is important for both sexes. However, this study suggests the need to apply programs specifically for women that show the impact of cyber-DV on SR, reduce the use of rumination and encourage gratitude to buffer the effects of cyber-DV suffered in all areas of a person’s development.
