Research on sexting perceptions and practices among high school students is extensive; however, this work has focused on predominately White samples, ignoring Hispanic adolescent young women's experiences and interpretations related to sexting. This study used qualitative methods to examine Hispanic college women's reflections on their engagement in and perceptions of image-based sexting during high school. A total of 56 Hispanic college women participated in individual-interviews about high school sexting. Approximately 20% of participants reported sexting images of themselves during high school. The common perception among participants who did not sext was that girls who sent sexualised images of themselves in high school were attention seekers or responding to a request from a boy. Those who sent sexts reported having sent the images of themselves within the context of a romantic relationship. Teenage girls whose sexualised images were widely circulated were viewed negatively by both sexters and non-sexters and faced negative social repercussions. The results highlight the influence of traditional gendered sexual scripting norms on sexting perceptions irrespective of behavioural intentions.
关于高中生发送色情短信行为的看法和实践的研究很多，但这些研究主要集中在以白人为主的样本上，忽略了西班牙裔青少年女性与发送色情短信相关的经历和解释。本研究采用定性方法，探讨了西班牙裔大学女生对其在高中时期参与和看待基于图像的发送色情短信行为的反思。共有 56 名西班牙裔大学女生参与了关于高中时期发送色情短信的个人访谈。大约 20%的参与者报告说，在高中时期曾发送过自己的色情图片。那些没有发送色情短信的参与者普遍认为，在高中时期发送自己色情图片的女孩是为了寻求关注，或者是回应男孩的要求。那些发送色情短信的人则报告说，他们是在恋爱关系的背景下发送自己的图片。那些自己的色情图片被广泛传播的少女，无论是发送者还是非发送者都对她们持负面看法，并面临负面的社会影响。研究结果强调了传统性别化的性脚本规范对发送色情短信行为看法的影响，而不论行为意图如何。
