“…There is an increase in research aimed at identifying the relationship between modern technologies, romantic relationships (Drouin & Landgraff, 2012;Weisskirch & Delevi, 2011) and sexual behaviors (Gordon-Messer, Bauermeister, Grodzinski, & Zimmerman, 2013;McDaniel & Drouin, 2015;National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy e NCPTUP, 2008;Weisskirch & Delevi, 2011).…”

This is the first research that aim to analyze the practice of Sexting in Portugal. The goals of this study included comparing the differences between the Sexting dimensions and independent factors (gender, age, literacy qualifications, profession, residence, marital status, existence of a stable relationship, most used media, place of frequent use of the media, most commonly used technological device, security perception of communication technology, number of text messages sent per day, recipients of text messages) and corroborating the existence of correlations between the Sexting dimensions. The study sample consisted of 301 individuals aged between 18 and 52 years (158 adults and 143 young adults) and included both females (169) and males (132). The instruments used included a translated and adapted version of the Sex and Tech Survey, created by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, and the elaboration of 7 social and demographic questions and 6 questions about media consumption and daily technology use. The results showed that environment exposure was higher in males as well as in the group of individuals of both sexes who sent approximately 76e90 written messages per day. By contrast, positive emotions and the development of greater interest in Sexting were higher in women. Positive emotions were higher in young adults, students of both sexes and unemployed persons.

“…As electronic sexual communication has become more commonplace, researchers have explored the positive and negative correlates and outcomes of sexting. Overall, these studies have shown that sexting more frequently in relationships is related to sexual satisfaction [ 42 ], and in some cases, relationship satisfaction [ 40 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]; however, sexting is also related to myriad of negative correlates, including conflict, ambivalence, and insecure attachment patterns [ 42 ]. Moreover, and more relevant to the current inquiry, sexting, especially unwanted or coerced sexting, has been found to relate to negative psychological symptoms, dating violence, offline sexual coercion, and IPA e.g., [ 34 , 35 , 42 , 54 ].…”

“…Some data suggest that individuals perceive sexting as a way to continue to connect in a relationship, particularly during college when partners may be separated [ 10 , 40 , 41 ]. Additionally, researchers have shown that sexting is associated with increased sexual satisfaction [ 42 ] and relationship satisfaction [ 40 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], though this may vary as a function of attachment style and gender. Recent latent profile analyses involving Americans and Canadians in cohabiting relationships [ 42 ], however, showed that nonsexters did not differ from those who sexted often (frequent and hypersexters) on relationship satisfaction, and sexters also fared worse in terms of other relationship markers, such as conflict, ambivalence, and attachment security.…”

Recent empirical data suggests that the majority of adolescents and emerging adults utilize digital technology to engage with texting and social media on a daily basis, with many using these mediums to engage in sexting (sending sexual texts, pictures, or videos via digital mediums). While research in the last decade has disproportionately focused on the potential risk factors and negative consequences associated with sexting, the data are limited by failing to differentiate consensual from non-consensual sexting and account for potential influences of intimate partner aggression (IPA) and sexting coercion in these contexts. In the current study, we assessed the positive and negative consequences associated with sexting, using behavioral theory as a framework, to determine the relationship between an individual’s personal history of IPA victimization and the perceived consequences. Undergraduate students (N = 536) who reported consensual sexting completed a series of measures examining their most recent sexting experience, including perceived sexting consequences, and their history of sexting coercion and IPA. Results suggested that those reporting a history of any type of IPA victimization endorsed more negative reinforcing consequences after sending a sext, and those with a history of physical or sexual IPA victimization endorsed more punishing consequences after sending a sext than those without such history. Additionally, experience with IPA was found to be positively correlated with perceived pressure/coercion to send a sext. The implications of these data for research, policy, prevention, and intervention are explored.

“…En el modelo, se metió la satisfacción con la relación, al ser un aspecto esencial en el estudio de las parejas (González et al, 2009;Romero et al, 2008). Además, se incluyó una variable de personalidad, la búsqueda de sensaciones sexuales, que por su naturaleza puede actuar como un factor de riesgo de infi delidad sexual (McDaniel & Drouin, 2015;Zheng & Zheng, 2014). El modelo indica que fomentar una buena relación, una personalidad reacia a la búsqueda de sensaciones sexuales y una actitud favorable a la exclusividad marital previenen el deseo y la conducta de infi delidad sexual.…”

“…Se hipotetiza que la infi delidad sexual sea predicha por el deseo de infi delidad sexual (Jackman, 2015;Romero et al, 2007); el deseo sea pronosticado por una actitud favorable hacia la infi delidad a la pareja (ATMES), insatisfacción con la pareja y la búsqueda de sensaciones sexuales y la actitud favorable hacia la infi delidad sea predicha por menor satisfacción marital y mayor búsqueda de sensaciones sexuales (Birnbaum et al, 2014;González, Martínez-Taboas, & Martínez, 2009;Romero, Cruz, & Díaz-Loving, 2008). Además, se espera una correlación negativa entre estas dos últimas variables (McDaniel & Drouin, 2015;Zheng & Zheng, 2014). Este modelo hipotético se diagrama en la fi gura 1.…”

EspañolSe ha propuesto que la actitud de rechazo hacia la infi delidad actúa como factor protector de sexo extradiádico, el cual puede tener efectos negativos para la estabilidad de la pareja. La escala de actitud hacia exclusividad marital (ATMES, por sus siglas en inglés: Attitude Toward Marital Exclusivity Scale) es un instrumento breve. Se usa en la investigación para medir actitud hacia la infi delidad a la pareja, pero no está validado en México. Este artículo tiene como objetivos validar la ATMES y contrastar un modelo para predecir infi delidad sexual. Se usó un muestreo de rutas al azar. A 727 personas casadas mexicanas (52.8% mujeres y 47.2% hombres) se les aplicó cuatro instrumentos de medida. La consistencia interna de la ATMES fue excelente, su distribución mostró asimetría positiva y se validó el modelo de un factor. Un modelo en el que el deseo de infi delidad sexual predice la infidelidad sexual, el deseo de infi delidad sexual es predicho por actitud hacia la infi delidad, satisfacción marital y búsqueda de sensaciones sexuales y estas dos últimas variables correlacionadas predicen actitud hacia la infidelidad, tuvo buen ajuste a los datos. Se concluye que la ATMES es una medida unidimensional, consistente y presenta evidencias de validez de constructo.EnglishIt has been proposed that an attitude of rejection toward infi delity acts as a protective factor from extradyadic sex, which can have negative eff ects for the stability of the couple. The Attitude Toward Marital Exclusivity Scale (ATMES) is a brief instrument, used in research, but it is not validated in Mexico. The objectives of this article were to validate the ATMES, and to contrast a model to predict sexual infi delity. A random-route sampling was used. A questionnaire composed of four scales was administered to 727 Mexican married persons (52.8% women and 47.2% men). The internal consistency of ATMES was excellent, the distribution of ATMES scores showed positive asymmetry, and the one-factor model was validated. A model, in which the desire for sexual infi delity predicts sexual infi delity, the desire for sexual infi delity is predicted by attitude toward infi delity, marital satisfaction and sexual sensation seeking and these last two correlated variables predict attitude toward infi delity, had a good fi t to the data, and was valid for both sexes. It is concluded that ATMES is a consistent, one-dimensional measure, that shows evidence of construct validity.
