摘要

Purpose

Technology-facilitated intimate partner violence (TFIPV) is increasingly recognised as a significant form of abuse, often co-occurring with offline violence. However, existing research frequently treats TFIPV as a singular phenomenon, overlooking variation in its manifestation and impact. This study examines differences in victim-survivor characteristics and relationship contexts across TFIPV subtypes.

Methods

Using data from a nationally representative online survey of Australian women (n = 9,604), we analyse the prevalence and correlates of three TFIPV forms: stalking and monitoring, image-based sexual abuse (IBSA), and online aggression and harassment. Logistic regression models assess sociodemographic, relationship, and offline IPV factors associated with each subtype.

Results

Findings reveal distinct risk profiles across TFIPV subtypes. Women with disabilities were more likely to experience IBSA but not other TFIPV forms. Living with children increased the likelihood of online stalking, while separation heightened vulnerability to online aggression. These patterns persisted after controlling for offline IPV, indicating that TFIPV risk is not uniform.

Conclusions

By challenging the tendency to conceptualise TFIPV as a homogenous experience, this study highlights the importance of differentiating abuse types in research, policy, and intervention. Recognising these variations can inform more targeted prevention and support strategies for victim-survivors.
