Investigations of alcohol use in relation to cyber dating abuse (CDA) remain underdeveloped relative to alcohol-related face-to-face dating abuse research. A critical step toward advancing this area of research would include examining the applicability of alcohol-related partner abuse models to CDA perpetration. Existing models of alcohol-related partner abuse suggested that alcohol and partner abuse are more likely to co-occur in the presence of aggressogenic distal traits. We propose that this model may extend to CDA perpetration. Toward this end, the present study collected cross-sectional data from college students ( = 258; 56.2% male) to investigate whether trait romantic jealousy moderated the association between alcohol problems and CDA perpetration, controlling for face-to-face dating abuse perpetration. We hypothesized that alcohol problems would positively relate to CDA perpetration among college students with high, but not low, romantic jealousy. We explored whether the interactive effect varied by sex. Results revealed a significant three-way interaction; the moderating role of romantic jealousy in the relation between alcohol problems and CDA perpetration varied by sex. Alcohol problems positively related to CDA perpetration for women with high, but not low, romantic jealousy. Alcohol problems did not relate to CDA perpetration regardless of men's level of romantic jealousy. These preliminary results suggested that alcohol-related partner abuse models may be useful for conceptualizing CDA perpetration and identifying CDA intervention components.
与面对面约会虐待相比，关于网络约会虐待（CDA）与酒精使用关系的研究仍然不够发达。推进这一研究领域的一个关键步骤将包括检验与酒精相关的伴侣虐待模型对 CDA 实施的适用性。现有的与酒精相关的伴侣虐待模型表明，在具有攻击性的远端特征存在的情况下，酒精和伴侣虐待更有可能同时发生。我们提出，这一模型可能适用于 CDA 的实施。为此，本研究从大学生（n=258；56.2%为男性）中收集了横断面数据，以调查特质性浪漫嫉妒是否调节了酒精问题与 CDA 实施之间的关系，同时控制了面对面约会虐待的实施。我们假设，在浪漫嫉妒程度较高而非较低的大学生中，酒精问题与 CDA 实施呈正相关。我们探讨了这种交互作用是否因性别而异。结果显示出一个显著的三因素交互作用；浪漫嫉妒在酒精问题与 CDA 实施之间的关系中的调节作用因性别而异。在浪漫嫉妒程度较高的女性中，酒精问题与 CDA 实施呈正相关，但在浪漫嫉妒程度较低的女性中则没有。无论男性的浪漫嫉妒程度如何，酒精问题都与 CDA 实施无关。这些初步结果表明，与酒精相关的伴侣虐待模型可能有助于理解 CDA 的实施，并确定 CDA 干预的组成部分。
