To explore the decline in online sexual solicitations between 2000 and 2010 by examining the characteristics of solicitations to better inform prevention efforts. Data are from the Youth Internet Safety Surveys (YISS); three cross-sectional, nationally representative telephone surveys of 3561 youth Internet users in the United States, ages 10 through 17 (1501 in YISS-1; 1500 in YISS-2; 1560 in YISS-3). Unwanted online sexual solicitation was defined as requests to engage in sexual activities or sexual talk or give personal sexual information that were unwanted or, whether wanted or not, made by an adult. The decline in unwanted sexual solicitations from 19% in 2000 to 13% in 2005 to 9% in 2010 was driven by a reduction in youth who were being asked to talk about sex or for personal sexual information online. Pre-teens (ages 10-12) accounted for the majority of this decline. Multiple solicitations over the course of a year also decreased. More solicitations occurred at the hands of people youth knew in person prior to the incident - mainly friends and acquaintances, and less so at the hands of people youth met online. By 2010 most solicitations were occurring through social networking sites. Victims were disclosing solicitation incidents at greater rates in 2010 - mostly to friends. In spite of continuing anxiety about the impact of the Internet on the safety of youth, encouraging trends suggest experiences, behavior and education are moving in the direction of greater online safety and improved experiences for youth.
通过研究网络性邀约的特征，以探讨2000年至2010年间网络性邀约的下降情况，从而为预防工作提供更充分的信息。数据来自青少年互联网安全调查（YISS）；这是对美国3561名年龄在10至17岁的青少年互联网用户进行的三次全国代表性横断面电话调查（YISS-1中有1501人；YISS-2中有1500人；YISS-3中有1560人）。不受欢迎的网络性邀约被定义为要求进行性活动、性交谈或提供个人性信息，这些要求是不受欢迎的，或者无论是否受欢迎，都是由成年人提出的。不受欢迎的性邀约从2000年的19%下降到2005年的13%，再到2010年的9%，这是由于被要求在网上谈论性或提供个人性信息的青少年减少所致。10至12岁的儿童占了这一下降的大部分。一年中多次邀约的情况也有所减少。更多的邀约是由青少年在事件发生前就认识的人所为——主要是朋友和熟人，而由青少年在网上认识的人所为的情况较少。到2010年，大多数邀约是通过社交网站进行的。2010年，受害者披露邀约事件的比例更高——大多是向朋友披露。尽管人们对互联网对青少年安全的影响仍持续感到担忧，但令人鼓舞的趋势表明，经历、行为和教育正朝着提高青少年网络安全性和改善其体验的方向发展。
