'Sexting' is defined as the act of sending sexually suggestive text messages (SSTMs), or the self-generation of nude or semi-nude images (NSNIs) and sending them to others via digital devices. It has recently emerged as a risk behaviour, particularly as it relates to adolescent sexuality. The consequences of sexting may include humiliation, ostracism, depression, anxiety, suicide and criminal or legal action. As such, research into the practice is vital in order to mitigate the risk to adolescents. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of sexting among a sample of adolescents and adults in Cape Town, South Africa. 2014-12-30T19:52:54Z 2014-12-30T19:52:54Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10646 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
