“…This may lead them to encounter less severe forms of USE such as sexual compliance (i.e. the act of consenting to unwanted sexual activity) (Darden, Ehman, Lair, & Gross, 2019). Furthermore, several types of USE may be prompted by environmental factors and associated behaviors which go along with the adolescent lifestyle, such as parties and binge drinking (Kavanaugh, 2013;Livingston et al, 2007).…”

Purpose Youths are particularly at risk of experiencing sexual victimization but research tends to focus on the most violent forms (i.e. rape or child sexual abuse) and on female cases. This study aimed at identifying factors associated to different types of unwanted sexual experiences (USE) among young females and males as well as estimating probabilities of experiencing sexual victimization among gender.Methods Data were drawn from a cross-sectional survey on sexual health and behaviors using a nationally representative sample of youths aged 24-26 living in Switzerland. Respondents (N=5290) were divided in three categories of reported USE, ordered by conceptualized severity. The fourth group was constituted of those never having experienced any. Weighted bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed using demographic characteristics and risk behavior indicators.Results At the multivariate level, the higher the severity of USE the higher the number of associated factors, revealing the complexity of this issue. Females had a higher probability of experiencing sexual victimization than of never experiencing any, with a probability of two out of three. They faced higher probabilities of sexual victimization than males, although males' probability of USE were not as marginal as expected, further considering that they are found to face higher rates of non-disclosure than females. ConclusionWhen investigating sexual victimization, there is a need to consider the diverse forms of USE and adopt a gendered approach in order to better comprehend sexual victimization and effectively intervene on the social, legal and public health levels to prevent sexual victimization among youths.

“…Several studies have identified a relationship between cyberbullying and sexting behaviors [24,25]. Fahy et al’s [19] investigation emphasizes the high prevalence of cyberbullying and the potential of cyber-victimization as a risk factor for future depressive symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and below average well-being among adolescents.…”

The practice of creating and sharing sexual images via technological devices, known as sexting, has received crescent attention in the past years, especially due to the increase of adolescent engagement in this behavior. Although consensual sexting is not prima facie a crime, as some research has shown, it has the potential to be a risky behavior, and a threshold to get exposure to dangerous kinds of victimization as sextortion, online grooming or cyberbullying. In this context, teenagers represent a vulnerable group due to their limited ability of self-regulation, their high susceptibility to peer pressure, their technophilia, and their growing sexual curiosity. The present paper aims to review the scientific literature to analyze the relationship between mental health and sexting as a potentially risky behavior and its association with online victimization. The results and implications will be discussed.

“…Prior reviews have highlighted links between sexting and mental health, focusing on depression, anxiety, risky social behaviors, and cyberbullying [70][71][72]. Research findings suggest a significant relationship between cyberbullying and sexting, where sexting may be a form of victimization, which also results in an increased likelihood of depression and anxiety [6,70,73,74]. Both depression and anxiety have been shown in previous studies to be associated with low self-esteem [56][57][58][59][60][61][62].…”

Purpose: This paper provides a systematic review of the published literature examining the association between sexting and self-esteem in adolescents. It further attempts to identify gaps in the current literature and provide recommendations for future research as well as patient care and education. Methods: Electronic databases (CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Iceberg, and PsycINFO) were searched with publication dates between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2019. The keywords used to conduct the search were: sexting, adolescents, self-esteem, youth, and teenagers. All records were screened to meet established criteria. The inclusion criteria included the following: a) articles written in the English language, b) study includes a comparison between sexting and self-esteem, c) study includes human subjects, and d) age of subjects is between 13 and 19. Studies where cyberbullying was the main component of the study methodology and consisted of instruments with lack of validity evidence were not included in the review. The review was conducted in concurrence with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: In total, 7 studies were included in the systematic review. Results suggest that sexting and self-esteem are associated, with an increased likelihood of sexting in adolescents with low self-esteem. Adolescents engaged in sexting behavior reported lower emotional self-efficacy (p < 2 0.01, 95% CI [0.22-0.61]) and self-esteem (p < 0.05, 95% CI [1.02-1.12]). Female adolescents were more likely to engage in sexting than male adolescents. Conclusions: Although research in sexting is no longer in its infancy, more research examining the association between sexting and self-esteem is needed. With an increasing prevalence of sexting behavior, it is also important for schools, parents, and clinicians to incorporate the discussion of sexting and its negative effects with adolescents. Thus, a greater emphasis on developing and implementing programs and interventions is necessary.
