Sažetak: The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors for sext victimization and perpetration among Croatian and Bosnian
Herzegovinian adolescents. The sample comprised 4215 high school students (including 57.49% girls), aged 14 to 20 years
(mean age 16.41). Attitudes toward sexting, self-control, attachment style, parental/school cell control, school cell supervi
sion and sociodemographic data were also examined as factors potentially relating to victimization and/or perpetration of
sext dissemination. Of the total sample of 4215 adolescents, nearly one-fifth (19.41%) reported either being victimized
through non-consensual sext dissemination or having perpetrated sext dissemination, with boys more likely to be involved
in sext dissemination compared to girls. Friends usually disseminated sexts, while the most frequently cited reason for
disseminating sext was joking. Logistic regressions showed that perpetration significantly predicted victimization and vice
versa. Regression analysis also showed that being male, having stronger parental control over mobile phone use, having
positive attitudes toward sexting, having lower levels of self-control, and having insecure attachment increased the risk of
being either a victim or perpetrator of sexting. The data suggest that there are common risk factors for both victimization
and perpetration of sexts, with one of the most important factors predicting both is a positive attitude toward sexting.
Nevertheless, we should not neglect the importance of gender, self-control, or insecure attachment style in predicting
different forms of sext dissemination
