Assessing the role of self-control and technology access on adolescent sexting and sext dissemination

作者:

Highlights:

• The sending and receipt of sexts was associated with lower levels of self-control and technology use measures.

• Females were more likely to send and receive sexts when controlling for other independent variables.

• Youth who shared sexts with others without the sender's consent were more likely to view online pornography frequently.

• The role of self-control as a predictor for sexting behaviors was largely mediated by technology use measures.
