Characteristics and Correlates of Cyber-control in Spanish Cases of Gender-Based Violence
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025-10) Niehaus, Kory; Fontao, María Isabel; Garrido Antón, María José; Quevedo-Blasco, Raúl; Sin departamento asociado
This explorative study aimed to identify the psychosocial charac-teristics of the perpetrator and the victim, as well as the relationship dy-namics and different forms of control and violence associated with cyber-control. Analyses were conducted retrospectively on a dataset of N = 368 cases of fatal and non-fatal gender-based violence, collected by the Nation-al Team for In-Depth Homicide Review of Gender Violence between 2006 and 2021 in Spain. Mean comparison procedures were performed be-tween cases with and without cyber-control, as well as binomial logistic re-gression analyses, to identify correlative and predictive associations. Cyber-controlled relationships were characterized by an insecure-anxious attach-ment style of the perpetrator, a lower age of both partners, isolation, jeal-ousy, and a shorter relationship duration. No predictive associations could be confirmed. Cyber-control co-occurred with several violent and control-ling behaviors. Due to this co-occurrence, cyber-control should be consid-ered an alarm signal for other forms of gender-based violence. The corre-lates identified could be a starting point for possible interventions.
