Introduction: Loneliness is predicted to cause offline dating abuse. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between cyber dating abuse and loneliness in young people. Method: The descriptive study was conducted with 254 undergraduate students studying at a university in the 2021-2022 academic year between April 4-22, 2022. Data were collected with Personal Information Form, Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale and Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire. Data were presented as number, frequency, mean and standard deviation. Spearman correlation test was used to determine the correlation between scales. Results: The average score of Exposure to Violence on the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire sub-dimension score of the students is 30.52 ± 12.08, and the mean of Violence sub-dimension score is 30.64 ± 12.10. Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale social loneliness sub-dimension score mean is 13.09 ± 6.33, emotional loneliness subdimension score mean is 16.91 ± 7.85, and family and romantic relationships loneliness sub-dimension score mean is 11.40 ± 6.39. It was determined that there was a weak positive relationship between social loneliness and the subdimensions of loneliness in family and romantic relationships and Exposure to Violence and Perpetration of Violence (p<0.05). Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that the loneliness felt by people is a risk factor for cyber dating violence and exposure to violence in the dating relationship process. These findings may be useful for developing more effective intervention programs.
