“…Despite the potential benefits that texting may afford adolescents’ navigation of romantic relationships, this platform can also be a context for risky behavior. There is a well‐established association between sexting and a variety of negative psychosocial outcomes (Houck et al, ; Walrave et al, ; Van Ouytsel et al, ). Furthermore, even if texting provides an “easier” context in which to navigate conflict, it is possible that doing so will in fact interfere with the development of conflict resolution skills.…”

“…In middle adolescence, youth are more likely to engage in casual dating, with these dyadic bonds becoming more consolidated in late adolescence as youth become increasingly involved with romantic partnerships that provide them with companionship and emotional support (Connolly & McIsaac, ). Although the majority of research examining sexual text message communication has focused on engaging in sexting as a risk factor (Houck et al, ; Walrave et al, ; Van Ouytsel, Ponnet, Walrave & d’Haenens, ), text messaging may also facilitate exploration with romantic relationships. Emerging adults who reported engaging in similar texting behaviors as their partner (e.g., initiating text conversations at similar rates) demonstrated greater relationship satisfaction (Ohadi, Brown, Trub & Rosenthal, ).…”

“…If text messaging is used in the service of exploring intimate, romantic relationships that are ascending in developmental importance during adolescence (Connolly & McIsaac, ), we predicted that adolescents would exchange more text messages with romantic partners than with peers or parents. We also expect adolescents to use texting as a platform in which to engage in emotionally laden and intimate discussions (Brinkley et al, ; Van Ouytsel et al, ), and thus, texting with romantic partners will involve higher frequencies of positive talk, negative talk, and communication about antisocial and sexual content.…”

Co-construction theory suggests adolescents use digital communication to address developmental challenges. For a sample of 214 ethnically diverse adolescents, this research used direct observation to investigate the frequency, content, and timing of texting with parents, peers, and romantic partners through grades 9-12. Analyses showed that texting frequency follows a curvilinear trajectory, peaking in eleventh grade. Adolescents discussed a range of topics, predominantly with peers. Communication with parents was less frequent, but consistent over time. Approximately 45-65% of adolescents communicated with romantic partners, texting heavily and about topics similar to those discussed with peers. Texting may help adolescents navigate key developmental challenges of adolescence-the establishment of autonomy, intimate peer relationships, romantic relationships, and self-identity.

“…Sexting refers to the act of sending a peer photographs and videos with some level of sexual content, taken or recorded by the protagonist, through the use of digital media [ 36 ]. In the international context, the prevalence data on sexting vary between 9.6% and 54% [ 37 , 38 ]. In Spain, the few works carried out found a sexting prevalence rate of 13.5% [ 39 ].…”

The advance of digital media has created risks that affect the bio-psycho-social well-being of adolescents. Some of these risks are cyberbullying, cyber dating abuse, sexting, online grooming and problematic Internet use. These risks have been studied individually or through associations of some of them but they have not been explored conjointly. The main objective is to determine the comorbidity between the described Internet risks and to identify the profiles of victimized adolescents. An analytical and cross-sectional study with 3212 participants (46.3% males) from 22 Spanish schools was carried out. Mean age was 13.92 ± 1.44 years (range 11–21). Assessment tools with adequate standards of reliability and validity were used. The main results indicate that the most prevalent single risk is cyberbullying victimization (30.27%). The most prevalent two-risk associations are cyberbullying-online grooming (12.61%) and cyberbullying-sexting (5.79%). The three-risk combination of cyberbullying-sexting-grooming (7.12%) is highlighted, while 5.49% of the adolescents present all the risks. In addition, four profiles are distinguished, with the profile Sexualized risk behaviour standing out, with high scores in grooming and sexting and low scores in the rest of the risks. Determining the comorbidity of risks is useful for clinical and educational interventions, as it can provide information about additional risks.

“…Isso se coaduna com o que descreveram adolescentes portugueses, de que a exposição da vida publicamente era o que mais os preocupava no uso intenso da internet (Assunção & Matos, 2014). Entretanto, algumas pesquisas também demonstraram que o envolvimento em sexting pelos adolescentes esteve associado a problemas emocionais (Choiet al, 2016;Livingstone & Görzig, 2014;Ouytsel, Ponnet, & Walrave, 2017;Temple & Choi, 2014), a comportamentos sexuais de risco, como o não uso do preservativo (Rice et al, 2012), uso de violência no namoro (Morelli, Bianchi, Baiocco, Pezzuti, & Chirumbolo, 2016) e a implicações legais (Korenis & Billick, 2014;Wolak, Finkelhor, & Mitchell, 2012). Esses resultados estiveram relacionados tanto aos adolescentes que receberam quanto aos que enviaram tais imagens.…”

Sexting: percepções de adolescentes sobre o fenômeno e acerca do papel das relações familiares

2019

Pesquisas sobre sexting vêm abordando quantitativamente aspectos da individualidade dos adolescentes, desconsiderando suas percepções. Portanto, o objetivo dessa pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva foi conhecer a percepção de adolescentes sobre o sexting e sobre o papel das relações familiares no fenômeno. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis adolescentes entre 14 e 17 anos de uma escola da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, com ou sem envolvimento em sexting. A partir da análise de conteúdo, os resultados mostraram que o fenômeno foi descrito como comum e não negativo. Entretanto, os participantes o descreveram como problemático caso ocorra o compartilhamento não autorizado. O exemplo dos pais e o diálogo na família foram percebidos como influenciadores de sexting ativo. Sugere-se que educadores, pais e terapeutas não o qualifiquem pejorativamente. Também que ampliem a comunicação sobre sexualidade para além do caráter informativo, bem como a discussão dos riscos de exposição que o compartilhamento não autorizado do sexting acarreta.
