The increasing digitization of interpersonal relationships has given rise to new forms of abuse within romantic contexts, i.e. technology-facilitated dating violence (TFDV). Despite increasing global research on TFDV, limited scholarship exists in the Indian context, particularly among male university students, whose victimization is often overlooked due to gendered assumptions about violence. This study estimates the past-year prevalence of TFDV and examines its association with two salient psychological outcomes, self-esteem and anxiety, among Indian male university students. This study utilized a cross-sectional survey to recruit 397 Indian male university students (Mage = 21.39 years) and employed validated instruments to assess TFDV victimization, anxiety, and self-esteem. Results showed that 65.5% of the participants reported experiencing at least one form of past-year TFDV. Pearson’s correlational analyses showed that experiencing TFDV was significantly and positively associated with anxiety and negatively associated with self-esteem. Independent sample t-tests highlighted that victims of TFDV reported significantly higher levels of anxiety and lower levels of self-esteem compared to non-victims. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that TFDV predicted anxiety and self-esteem after controlling for age, daily average internet use, and number of dating partners. Findings highlight the urgent need for gender-inclusive prevention strategies, digital relationship education, and providing mental health support services. This study extends the global literature on cyberpsychology and relational abuse by focusing exclusively on male victims in the Indian context, thereby underscoring the importance of considering cultural and gender dynamics in the study of TFDV.
