Interpersonal and Digital Violence Across Relational Contexts: Bullying, Cyberbullying, Dating Violence and Intimate Partner Violence – Volume II

This Research Topic is the second volume of Research Topic "Bullying, Cyberbullying, and Dating Violence: State of the Art, Evaluation Instruments and Prevention and Intervention Proposals." Please, see the first volume here.Bullying, cyberbullying, and dating violence remain major psychosocial concerns across adolescence, youth, and adulthood. Although these phenomena are often studied separately, growing research suggests that peer aggression, digital victimization, and violence in romantic or intimate relationships are interconnected expressions of interpersonal harm that unfold across developmental, relational, educational, community, and technological contexts.The expansion of digitally mediated interaction has blurred the boundaries between offline and online aggression. Peer violence may extend across school, family, community, and social media environments, while romantic and intimate relationships increasingly involve technology-facilitated forms of control, monitoring, coercion, psychological aggression, sexual pressure, image-based abuse, and harassment. At the same time, the field is paying increasing attention to shared and specific risk and protective factors, bystander and defender roles, socio-cultural influences, gendered dynamics, and the developmental pathways that may connect early peer aggression with later relationship violence.This Research Topic welcomes contributions that advance knowledge on the psychological, social, educational, and technological mechanisms involved in bullying, cyberbullying, dating violence, intimate partner dynamics, and related forms of interpersonal and digital aggression. We particularly encourage submissions that address conceptual integration across offline and online contexts; developmental trajectories from peer victimization to later relationship violence; the development, validation, adaptation, or refinement of assessment instruments; cross-cultural and comparative approaches; longitudinal and mixed-method designs; digital and technology-facilitated violence; risk and protective factors; consequences for victims, perpetrators, and bystanders; and the role of schools, families, communities, platforms, and public policies.Studies focused on prevention and intervention are especially welcome, including the design, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based programs in educational, clinical, community, and digital settings. Contributions may also examine digital literacy, socio-emotional learning, restorative practices, teacher training, family involvement, youth participation, curriculum-based approaches, and the use of technology for assessment, prevention, monitoring, and intervention.The Topic Editors welcome interdisciplinary and international contributions that help refine theoretical models, improve measurement practices, identify effective prevention and intervention strategies, and inform evidence-based responses to interpersonal and digital violence across relational contexts.Accepted manuscript types may include Original Research, Systematic Review, Review, Methods, Case Report, Community Case Study, Conceptual Analysis, Study Protocol, and contributions related to Curriculum, Instruction, and Pedagogy, depending on the article types enabled by the selected Frontiers section.
