Autori: KRISTINA SESAR, ARTA DODAJ
Sažetak: Adolescence and emerging adulthood are developmental phases in which the exploration of one's own sexuality takes on
a high priority, which can increase the risk of risky sexual behavior. Due to technological advances, (non-consensual) sex
ting has increased among young people and has become an integral part of their sexual socialization. Therefore, the main
objective of this study was to examine non-consensual sexting (both victimization and perpetration) among adolescents and
emerging adults and to identify potential risk factors associated with non-consensual sexting using routine activity theory.
The sample consisted of a total of 3514 adolescents aged 10–17 years (43% males; 57% females) and 3674 emerging adults
aged 18–25 years (23% males; 77% females) from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The results showed that both male
adolescents and emerging adults were at higher risk for experiencing non-consensual sexting victimization. Personal factors
such as gender, age, social bond, and routine cell phone activity predicted the risk of becoming a victim of non-consensual
sexting in adolescents. For emerging adults, gender, social connection to friends, and routine cell phone use predicted the risk
of becoming a victim of non-consensual sexting. Relationship status and routine cell phone activity predicted the forwarding
of other sexts for both age groups. According to international scientific research and the findings of this particular study, we
can conclude that the study of personal factors and routine variables helps understand non-consensual sexting among youth
but is also essential in planning educational resources and preventive activities.
