Abstract

According to the triangular love theory, this study investigated the roles of three components of love (i.e., passion, intimacy, commitment) and the moderating role of conflicts in predicting different forms of sexting (i.e., experimental, nonconsensual, under pressure) in teen dating relationships. Participants were 409 adolescents (M_age = 17.20, SD_age = 1.61; 62.6% girls) who completed an online questionnaire. Three moderated regressions were performed. Conflicts positively predicted all forms of sexting. Passion positively predicted experimental sexting. Intimacy negatively predicted experimental and nonconsensual sexting, and positively predicted sexting under pressure. Three interaction effects emerged, pointing out the moderating role of conflicts. Passion positively predicted nonconsensual sexting in the presence of high conflicts, while this relationship became negative when conflicts were low. Commitment negatively predicted nonconsensual sexting and sexting under pressure in the presence of high conflicts, but these relationships were not significant when conflicts were low. Research and applicative implications are discussed.

青少年恋爱关系中的爱情和性短信模式:冲突的调节作用。

根据三角爱情理论，本研究探讨了爱情的三个组成部分(激情、亲密、承诺)和冲突在预测青少年恋爱关系中不同形式的性短信(实验性、非自愿性、压力下)中的调节作用。参与者为409名青少年(Mage = 17.20, SDage = 1.61;62.6%的女孩)，他们完成了一份在线问卷。进行了三次适度回归。冲突积极地预示着各种形式的色情短信。激情对实验性色情短信有正向预测作用。亲密关系对实验性和非自愿的性短信有负面预测，而对压力下的性短信有积极预测。三种交互效应的出现，指出了冲突的调节作用。在高度冲突的情况下，激情积极地预测了非自愿的性短信，而在冲突低的情况下，这种关系变得消极。承诺负向预测非自愿性短信和高冲突压力下的性短信，但当冲突低时，这些关系不显著。讨论了研究和应用意义。
