Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Relationship Formation

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Background:

Cyber dating violence is an increasing problem with significant health implications for adolescents and young adults.
Understanding and measuring cyber dating violence is crucial for addressing its impact.
Existing measurement tools vary widely in their terminology, constructs, and psychometric properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and analyze measurement instruments for cyber dating violence in adolescents and young adults.
To identify the most suitable and psychometrically sound tools for assessing cyber dating violence.
To provide evidence-based recommendations for researchers and practitioners.

Main Methods:

A systematic review of measurement instruments for cyber dating violence was conducted.
Twenty-four instruments were analyzed for differences in terms, constructs, dimensions, and measurement attributes.
Methodological quality was evaluated using COSMIN guidelines to assess psychometric properties.

Main Results:

Significant heterogeneity was found among the 24 analyzed measurement instruments.
Methodological quality varied considerably across the instruments.
Three scales demonstrated recommendable psychometric properties: Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire, Technology-facilitated Abuse in Relationships Scale, and CARPA.

Conclusions:

Validated measurement tools are essential for accurately assessing cyber dating violence.
The Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire, Technology-facilitated Abuse in Relationships Scale, and CARPA are recommended, with selection dependent on age and cultural context.
Further research should focus on refining and validating instruments for diverse populations.
