In the last decade, research related to intimate abuse through technology has increased exponentially, and numerous scientific constructs have been created to define this phenomenon. These constructs tend to be compared or used interchangeably, but several previous studies have emphasized that this multiplurality of constructs could contribute to the existence of constraints in the interpretation and comparison of results between studies. To address these constraints, we undertook a systematic review with the aims of (1) identifying scientific constructs related to intimate abuse through technology and (2) identifying behavioral dimensions developed to analyze this phenomenon. In our review, we included 126 studies and identified 42 constructs and 20 multidimensional behavioral sets related to intimate abuse through technology. On the basis of our analysis, we recommend that future studies adopt the construct of digital dating abuse or the initial theoretical formulation of cyber dating abuse to analyze this phenomenon since they both provide formal definitions and full-spectrum behavioral dimensions; however, these constructs also present some limitations. We also recommend that future studies consider expanding this research field to different configurations of intimate relationships, considering the inclusion of more diverse age groups.

在过去的十年中，与通过技术进行的私密性虐待有关的研究呈指数增长，并且已经建立了许多科学构造来定义这种现象。这些结构倾向于进行比较或互换使用，但是先前的一些研究强调，这种结构的多样性可能会导致研究之间的解释和比较中存在约束。为了解决这些限制，我们进行了系统的审查，其目的是（1）通过技术确定与亲密虐待有关的科学构造，以及（2）确定为分析这种现象而开发的行为维度。在我们的综述中，我们纳入了126项研究，确定了42种结构和20种与通过技术进行私密性虐待有关的多维行为集。根据我们的分析，我们建议以后的研究采用数字约会滥用的结构或网络约会滥用的初步理论来分析这种现象，因为它们都提供了正式的定义和全光谱的行为维度。但是，这些构造也存在一些局限性。我们还建议未来的研究考虑将这一研究领域扩展到不同类型的亲密关系，并考虑包括更多不同年龄组的人群。
