Abstract

Technology-facilitated abuse is a growing form of intimate partner violence where digital tools are used to control, monitor, and intimidate victims. This study aimed to examine how certain technologies—such as social media, GPS tracking, and messaging apps—are enabling perpetrators to exert coercive control over their victims. Findings showed that when abusers use these technologies, the nature of the resulting psychological and emotional harm is uniquely severe and impactful. Some of the study's victim participants described heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and PTSD as a direct result of their abusive partner using technology against them. The research also identified several troubling legal and ethical gaps in our current societal framework that leave victims vulnerable. Focusing on a blended demographic sample of study participants—across gender and age—it became clear that certain groups are being targeted more than others. The study concludes by applying a cyberpsychological framework to the issue under investigation and making urgent safety recommendations.

Abstract

The growing digital communication has opened new avenues for emotional manipulation and deception to occur in personal relationships, especially within the context of marriage. This study aimed to investigate the online practices that best exemplify these negative relational dynamics—catfishing, digital infidelity, and emotional blackmail. It examines the impact of these practices on trust and intimacy. To understand the situation, we conducted two parts of research—one quantitative, the other qualitative. The digital deceptions we found are causing significant emotional distress in those being deceived, making them feel (a) excessively anxious, (b) unduly depressed, and (c) dangerously low in self-trust. They also give rise to relational power dynamics that seem far more imbalanced than the traditional marital roles of husband and wife would suggest. Furthermore, through various cyberpsychological frameworks, we've utilized, it is apparent that these enacted deceptions also cause more relation between the deceivers and those being deceived.
