“…The goal of this study was to meet the need to create a measure of sexting that integrates and clarifies a wider variety of conceptual elements constituting its definition. Furthermore, the study aimed to overcome conceptual and methodological shortcomings detected not only in previous empirical studies, but also in previous scales developed on this topic (e.g., the non-consideration of certain sexting experiences and media formats, the use of vague adjectives to describe sexts, the non-specification of certain elements, such as purpose and the temporal framework) [2,3,17,20,21,[33][34][35]. To achieve the above goals, our Adolescent Sexting Scale (A-SextS for short) was based on multiple sources of information, including a thorough literature review, discussion groups, and a pilot study.…”

“…The validation process of A-SextS was different from that applied in previous sexting measures [33,35] in which a factor analytic perspective was adopted to explore the latent structure of the scale. Penado et al [35], for example, carried out a factorial analysis and grouped factors according to the medium through which sexts were communicated (i.e., mobile phone vs. social networks), with a correlation coefficient of 0.9 between factors.…”

“…Several recently validated instruments have focused on assessing sexting in adults, such as the "Escala de Conductas sobre Sexting" (ESC, only available in Spanish at this time) [33] and the Sexting Behavior Scale (SBS) [34]. However, to the best of our knowledge, to date, there has only been one instrument tested among adolescents, the Intimate Images Diffusion Scale (EDIMA) [35].…”

“Sexting” is generally defined as the exchange of sexual media content via the internet. However, research on this topic has underscored the need to seek greater consensus when considering different conceptual elements that make up this definition. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an instrument for measuring sexting among adolescents, in order to cover a gap identified in the previous literature. The Adolescent Sexting Scale (A-SextS for short) was developed for validation on a sample of 579 Spanish secondary school pupils between the ages of 11 and 18. Evidence for face, content, concurrent, and criterion validity were assessed. A comprehensive set of 64 items, covering six defining characteristics of sexting (e.g., actions, recipient, media format, degree of sexual explicitness), was constructed after conducting an extensive literature review, two discussion groups, and a pilot study. Sexting prevalence rates measured by A-SextS were mostly concurrent with those found in previous studies. A-SextS subscales produced statistically significant positive associations with pornography consumption and physical sexual intercourse. The study shows that A-SextS can be an integrating instrument that facilitates a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of adolescent sexting experiences, as well as the formulation of an operationalized definition of the practice of sexting.

“…Scholars have started to distinguish different types of sexting behaviors (Barrense‐Dias et al, 2017; Chacón‐López et al, 2016). According to Yépez‐Tito et al (2019) “passive sexting involves receiving, asking for, or being asked for sexually explicit material, while active sexting is the creating, showing, posting, sending, or forwarding of such material” (p. 506).…”

Introduction: Research supporting adolescent sexual health and empowerment is needed. The study investigates sexting among adolescents using the resources that characterized the Positive Youth Development Approach (PYD) and considering the impact of parental monitoring. The study aims to describe sexting among three different groups of adolescents (i.e., Non Sexters [NS], Passive Sexters [PS], and Active Sexters [AS]) considering age and sex (first aim). It also seeks to identify predictors among the PYD's resources and parental monitoring that explain the probability of falling into the sexter or the non sexter groups (second aim) as well as the probability of falling into the active or the passive sexter groups (third aim). Method: The national representative sample was composed of 1866 Italian adolescents: 980 girls and 886 boys aged between 13 and 19 years old (M = 16.26; SD = 1.49). Participants completed a questionnaire that measured sexting behavior, PYD resources, and parental monitoring scales. Chi-squared and multivariate logistic regressions were performed. Results: Almost half of the participants (46.0%) were NS, 36.2% were PS, and 17.8% were AS. Results show that sex, age, Connection, and Child Disclosure are significant predictors of sexting behavior. Conclusions: Results highlighted that sexting can be seen as a relational activity that adolescents use to establish connections as part as their sexual exploration. A parenting approach that promotes disclosure may help adolescents explore safely their sexuality and be accountable. Results also indicate that parents need to build educational alliances with schools to promote sexual health and empowerment among teenagers while preventing risk of harm. K E Y W O R D S adolescents, parental monitoring, positive youth development, sexting behaviorsIn the age of the Internet and mobile devices, adolescents' daily lives are increasingly characterized by social media, constant connectivity and virtual communication. In such an environment, intimate communication can take place not only face-toface but via different electronic channels such as phone calls, emails, texts, photos, and videos. Sexting has been defined as "sending texts or photos, receiving texts or photos, or sending as well as receiving texts or photos of a sexual nature" (Klettke et al., 2014, p. 45). Adolescent sexting has become a subject of debate in both the academic and the public fields, raising many questions on how to decrease legal and negative psychological outcomes as well as how to promote adolescents' sexual health and empowerment. Sexting can be conceptualized as the contemporary way of manifesting adolescents' sexuality in the digital age (Döring, 2014;Yépez-Tito et al., 2019) and as intimate communication mediated by technology (Hasinoff, 2013). This perspective can be grounded in the framework of the Positive Youth Development (PYD, Lerner et al., 2005

The objective of this study was threefold: to validate a version of the Sexting Behavior Scale in adolescents, to assess the prevalence of sexting behaviors, and to determine their associated consequences. A total of 1,271 (50.8% girls) students participated, with a mean age of 15.6 (SD = 1.13). The results show through the confirmatory factor analysis a good fit for the two-dimensional model consisting of items that are grouped into sending photos and/or vídeos (α = .83) and sending text messages with erotic/sexual content (α = .83); 52.8% of adolescents have been identified to carry out sexting behaviors, with texts (91.7%) being more erotic/sexual than photos and/or vídeos (57.8%), and boys the ones that most content send. In addition, 11.6% of adolescents were forced to send sexting content and 5.5% of them were blackmailed.
