Little is known about the variables that could be related to cyber dating violence (CDV). This study compared by sex the prevalence and frequency of perpetration of CDV, between 2023 Colombian adolescents and young adults (53% women) between 13-40 years (M=17.92; SD=3.6), and explored the relationship among CDV perpetration with CDV victimization and the perpetration of psychological dating violence (DV), implementing the statistical analyses Chi-squared, odds ratio, and multiple linear regression. The instruments used were: CDAQ y CEPA. The 76% of the participants reported having perpetrated some CDV behavior at least once or twice in the last year, not finding differences by sex in the prevalence and the frequency of behaviors perpetrated. The probability of perpetrating CDV was 81 times higher among the participants who reported CDV victimization (0#=81.206), and 6 times higher among those who perpetrated psychological DV (OR=6.539). The frequency of CVD behaviors suffered (B=.736; p=.000) and the frequency of psychological DV perpetrated (B=.113; p=.000) explained 62.6% of the variance of the frequency of CDV behaviors perpetrated. These results indicate that the risk of perpetration increases with victimization and performance of traditional psychological DV, aspects that should be considered for its prevention.
