Anxiously attached individuals worry about the psychological availability of their partners. Their preoccupation with unmet attachment related needs is likely accompanied by ruminative thoughts, feelings of jealousy, and dating abuse perpetration. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of gender differences in perpetrating psychological and cyber dating abuse and to explore a hypothesized serial path from anxious attachment, through rumination, and cognitive jealousy to psychological and cyber dating abuse perpetration. The sample consisted of 562 (404 women) Turkish emerging adults. The majority of the sample perpetrated at least one psychological (88.9%) and cyber (68.4%) abusive behavior over the last six months, with women perpetrating more psychological and cyber abuse. We tested a serial mediational model for each type of dating abuse, which indicated that anxious attachment was related to more rumination (brooding), cognitive jealousy, and in turn, to psychological and cyber dating abuse perpetration. We discuss the implications of our study for research, theory, and practice.
焦虑型依恋的个体担心伴侣在心理上是否随时可得。他们对未满足的依恋相关需求的过度关注可能伴随着反复思考、嫉妒情绪以及约会虐待行为。本研究的目的是调查在实施心理和网络约会虐待方面性别差异的普遍性，并探索一个假设的连续路径，即从焦虑型依恋开始，经过反复思考和认知嫉妒，到实施心理和网络约会虐待。样本包括562名（404名女性）土耳其新兴成年人。在过去六个月中，大多数样本至少实施了一种心理（88.9%）和网络（68.4%）虐待行为，女性实施的心理和网络虐待更多。我们针对每种约会虐待类型测试了一个连续中介模型，结果表明焦虑型依恋与更多的反复思考（沉思）、认知嫉妒相关，进而与心理和网络约会虐待行为相关。我们讨论了本研究对研究、理论和实践的意义。
