Dating abuse research on lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations tends to aggregate LGB participants for comparisons with heterosexuals and often excludes nonassaultive dating abuse and abuse that takes place on online dating applications. In the present study, we used the Pew Research Center's 2019 American Trends Panel Wave 56 data set (n = 4712) to compare ever experiencing several types of nonassaultive on- and offline dating abuse between bisexual women (n = 402), lesbian women (n = 207), heterosexual women (n = 1802), bisexual men (n = 225), gay men (n = 575), and heterosexual men (n = 1501). We found that gay men and bisexual women generally had the greatest odds of experiencing online dating abuse. Bisexual and heterosexual women had the greatest odds of experiencing some offline abuse (eg, being touched in an uncomfortable way), but gay men, bisexual women, and bisexual men had the greatest odds of experiencing other offline abuse (eg, having their contact information or a sexual image of them shared nonconsensually). Findings highlight how assessments of nonassaultive dating abuse in on- and offline contexts via analyses of more specified gender/sex and sexual identity groups can broaden understandings of dating abuse victimization, especially among sexual minority populations.
针对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）群体的约会虐待研究往往将LGB参与者汇总起来与异性恋者进行比较，并且常常排除非攻击性的约会虐待以及在线约会应用程序上发生的虐待行为。在本研究中，我们使用了皮尤研究中心2019年美国趋势小组第56波数据集（n = 4712），以比较双性恋女性（n = 402）、女同性恋女性（n = 207）、异性恋女性（n = 1802）、双性恋男性（n = 225）、男同性恋男性（n = 575）和异性恋男性（n = 1501）在经历几种非攻击性的线上和线下约会虐待方面的情况。我们发现，男同性恋者和双性恋女性经历在线约会虐待的几率通常最高。双性恋和异性恋女性经历某些线下虐待（例如被以不舒服的方式触摸）的几率最高，但男同性恋者、双性恋女性和双性恋男性经历其他线下虐待（例如他们的联系信息或他们的性图像被未经同意地分享）的几率最高。研究结果凸显了通过对更具体的性别/性取向和性身份群体进行分析，来评估线上和线下背景下的非攻击性约会虐待，如何能够拓宽对约会虐待受害情况的理解，尤其是在性少数群体中。
