This research aims to know the risk factors associated with Cyber Dating Abuse (CDA), based on a Theory of Social Representations and the General Aggression Model. To achieve this goal, 5 studies were outlined. Study 1 aimed to survey empirical research related to digital abuse in romantic relationships, knowing its prevalence, assessment tools and associated risk factors. We found and studied 39 articles related to the last 10 years (2008-2018). The results showed that this type of phenomenon emerged as a psychosocial phenomenon, which may be caused by several risk factors, such as: sociodemographic; relationship to relationship; psychological, related to perceptions, norms and beliefs. Study 2 sought to learn as social representations (SR) of Brazilian university students about digital abuse in love relationships. The study included 447 participants from the Free Word Association Information System. CDA's findings were introduced into relational uncertainty in the domain of privacy and violation of privacy rights. Moreover, the data revealed that "jealousy" presents itself as a central and organizing element of SR. Study 3 aimed to know the factorial validity and internal consistency of the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire (CDAQ) through various exploratory pathways. For this, it had a sample of 215 participants, with a daily average of 28.27 (SD = 6.05; range 18 to 54). The results obtained are a two-factor structure, with levels above 0.40, and internal consistency indices. In turn, study 4 sought more recent validity variables (factorial and convergent) and made the CDAQ in a new sample, from the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). There was a sample of 248 participants, with a daily average of 27.80 (SD = 6.42; range 18 to 56). The results are confirmed as a two-factor structure, indicating it as more pertinent, with adjustment indices as well as internal consistency. In addition, CDAQ demonstrated convergence through partnerships with Conflict Scales and Global Relationship Satisfaction Scale. Finally, Study 5 aimed to know now the direct and indirect effects of personality and traditional intimate partner violence in CDA, based on the General Aggression Model. For this, two models were outlined: one for perpetration and one for victimization, with a sample of 356 participants, with an average age of 27.05 (SD = 6.99). Regarding the victimization model, no indirect effects were found, so the data were not confirmed. Regarding the perpetration model, the results showed that neurotic traits together with the involvement in perpetration in face violence between intimate partners (physical and psychological) increase romantic jealousy influencing, in turn, the increase of control and monitoring behaviors between partners. Moreover, the findings of this thesis have important empirical, theoretical and practical implications for understanding CDA, a phenomenon that has not yet been explored.
