Abstract

What proportion of minors who engage in sexting find themselves involved in an episode of image abuse? The data come from a US nationally representative sample of 2639 respondents aged 18-28 reporting about experiences before the age of 18, of whom 23% had engaged in sexting as minors. Among those who sexted the rate of image abuse was 37%, a risk ratio of 13.2 compared to those who did not engage in sexting. For females who sexted the victimization rate was particularly high, but sexting increased risk for females and males. Among the minors who only sexted occasionally (vs those who sexted frequently) the rate of abuse was still high (35%) and the reduction in risk modest. When we controlled for other background and demographic risk factors like adversities and prior sexual abuse, it did not substantially reduce the large risk entailed with sexting. Various harm reduction strategies may be needed to supplement messages about dangers and risks.

未成年人在线 Sexting 的风险有多大?
有多大比例的未成年人在使用短信息时发现自己卷入了图像滥用事件?这些数据来自美国一个具有全国代表性的抽样调查,调查对象为 2639 名 18-28 岁的受访者,他们报告了 18 岁之前的经历,其中 23% 的人在未成年时曾发过色情短信。在发过短信息的受访者中,图像滥用率为 37%,与没有发过短信息的受访者相比,风险比为 13.2。女性发sext的受害率特别高,但无论男性还是女性,发sext都会增加风险。在偶尔发送短信息的未成年人(与经常发送短信息的未成年人相比)中,虐待率仍然很高(35%),风险降低幅度不大。当我们控制了其他背景和人口风险因素(如逆境和先前的性虐待)后,并没有大幅降低sexting带来的巨大风险。可能需要采取各种减少伤害的策略来补充有关危险和风险的信息。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
