This research studies the prevalence of digital violence exercised through new information and communication technology (ICT) among university couples. A comparative study was carried out in England, United Kingdom, and in Spain with 831 participants. A quantitative methodology was applied with different sampling: in the United Kingdom, 303 ( = 22.79; SD; 47.32; 58.7% male) and in Spain, 528 ( = 24.29; SD = 21.41; 69.5% female). An ad hoc questionnaire was used, created for the detection, measurement and analysis of digital violence within affective-sexual relationships. The results reveal proportions of 51.04% and 49.82% in the perception of digital violence through electronic devices in dating relationships among young people; 15.84% and 11.05% in the prevalence of digital violence in young couples' relationships; 9.36% and 6.17% in the prevalence of traditional violence; and 35.78% and 22.43% in the tolerance of digital violence among students, for the English and Spanish samples, respectively. The results also show a slightly lower prevalence of digital violence in the Spanish sample with respect to the English sample, where females scored slightly higher in the perpetration of digital violence. There is a need to develop awareness, training and prevention programs against digital violence in the university context.
本研究旨在探讨通过新的信息和通信技术（ICT）在大学生伴侣中实施的数字暴力的流行程度。在英国和西班牙进行了一项比较研究，共有 831 名参与者。采用了不同的抽样方法的定量方法：在英国，有 303 名（=22.79; SD; 47.32; 58.7%男性），在西班牙，有 528 名（=24.29; SD = 21.41; 69.5%女性）。使用了专门的问卷，用于检测、测量和分析情感性关系中的数字暴力。结果显示，在英国和西班牙的样本中，分别有 51.04%和 49.82%的年轻人在约会关系中通过电子设备感知到数字暴力；15.84%和 11.05%的年轻人在伴侣关系中存在数字暴力；9.36%和 6.17%的年轻人存在传统暴力；35.78%和 22.43%的年轻人对数字暴力有容忍度。结果还显示，西班牙样本中数字暴力的流行程度略低于英国样本，而女性在数字暴力的实施中得分略高。有必要在大学环境中制定针对数字暴力的意识、培训和预防计划。
