| Popis: | Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess sexting behaviors and consequences among selected Southern undergraduate students and to determine predictors of current sexting behavior. Methods: Data from 469 surveys were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, Spearman's Rho correlations, and regression analysis. Results: Most sexters perceived their overall sexting experience as positive. Although negative consequences were experienced considerably less frequently, these consequences were profoundly harmful. Positively perceived overall sexting experience and total number of sexual partners were predictors of current sexting status. Complementing the uses and gratifications theory, perceived overall positive sexting experiences reinforce sexting by fulfilling gratifications. |
