Abstract(s)
As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação vieram revolucionar a forma como
comunicamos e marcam presença constante no quotidiano dos jovens. A experienciar as
suas primeiras relações afetivas, os jovens adultos recorrem às tecnologias para
comunicar com o parceiro íntimo. Se por um lado estes meios de comunicação podem
aproximar os jovens, por outro servem de veículo para situações de abuso. Considerando
estes elementos, esta investigação teve por objetivo estudar a relação entre o uso
problemático da internet, traços de psicopatia e comportamentos de abuso cibernético. A
amostra é constituída por 105 jovens, 85 raparigas e 20 rapazes, com uma idade média de
23.2 (DP = 3.65). Os resultados indicaram que há um forte uso das tecnologias para
manter a comunicação com o parceiro. Já nos resultados do abuso cibernético foi
percetível a elevada prevalência de comportamentos de vitimação e perpetração, com
especial destaque para a dimensão do controlo. Não se encontraram diferenças no abuso
cibernético entre rapazes e raparigas. Por fim, o estudo da relação entre os traços de
psicopatia, uso problemático na internet e comportamentos de abuso cibernético não
apresentou relevância estatística. Este estudo permitiu perceber que os comportamentos
de abuso cibernético são transversais a ambos os sexos e apresentam uma tendência de
crescimento da sua prevalência.
