Özet

This research aims to reveal the moderating role of the generation gap between gender role attitudes (GRA) and cyber dating abuse (CDA) in Turkey. The study was conducted via a survey of 3607 people. Grounded in Giddens' theory of structuration, the study reveals how gender-based societal norms and associated behavioral and social factors may increase the risk of CDA, and how gender norms in Turkey comprise an aspect of Turkish social structure. It also indicated a moderating role of the generation gap (Gen X, Y, Z) on the relationship between GRA and CDA, whereas the Baby Boomer generation had no moderating role. Lastly, there is a statistical difference between total gender role attitude, violence perpetration values, and violence victimization values according to daily Internet usage frequency.
