The current study examines whether adolescents who report sexting exhibit more psychosocial health problems, compared to their non-sexting counterparts. Participants included 937 ethnically diverse male and female adolescents recruited and assessed from multiple high schools in southeast Texas. Measures included self-report of sexting, impulsivity, alcohol and drug use, and depression and anxiety symptoms. Teen sexting was significantly associated with symptoms of depression, impulsivity, and substance use. When adjusted for prior sexual behavior, age, gender, race/ethnicity, and parent education, sexting was only related to impulsivity and substance use. While teen sexting appears to correlate with impulsive and high-risk behaviors (substance use), we did not find sexting to be a marker of mental health.
本研究考察了报告发送色情短信的青少年与没有发送色情短信的青少年相比，是否表现出更多的心理健康问题。研究参与者包括来自德克萨斯州东南部多所高中的 937 名不同种族的男女性青少年。研究方法包括自我报告发送色情短信、冲动性、酒精和药物使用以及抑郁和焦虑症状。青少年发送色情短信与抑郁、冲动和物质使用症状显著相关。在调整了先前的性行为、年龄、性别、种族/民族和父母教育程度后，发送色情短信仅与冲动和物质使用有关。虽然青少年发送色情短信似乎与冲动和高风险行为（物质使用）相关，但我们没有发现发送色情短信是心理健康的标志。
