Nonconsensual distribution of intimate images (NCII), also known as revenge porn, has become a significant social issue in recent years, with severe consequences for victims. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of NCII victimization among young Italian adults, focusing on the role of sexting, intimate partner violence (IPV), impulsivity, and self-disclosure. An online survey was conducted among a sample of 2047 Italian young adults ( = 29.3 %, = 53.4 %, Not Indicated=16.9 %; mean age = 24.4, SD = 4.4) using a convenience sample recruited through internet. The survey included questions on NCII victimization, sexting behavior, sextortion, and IPV. Our findings showed that 33.9 % of respondents reported engaging in sexting behavior, with females being three times more likely to engage in sexting than males. Furthermore, 3.3 % of participants reported being victims of NCII, with over one-third of victims experiencing three or more types of NCII victimization. Multiple regression analysis revealed that sexting and IPV were significant predictors of NCII victimization, and the interaction effect between self-disclosure and impulsivity was also a significant predictor. This study contributes to the understanding of NCII in Italy and highlights the need for interventions and prevention strategies to address both NCII and IPV, given their strong continuity. The results also suggest that the relationship between self-disclosure, impulsivity, IPV, and NCII victimization is complex and requires further investigation, suggesting a scenario where the climate of violence may impair the victim's decision-making.
非自愿传播私密图像（NCII），也被称为报复性色情，近年来已成为一个重大的社会问题，给受害者带来了严重后果。本研究旨在调查意大利年轻成年人中NCII受害情况的发生率及其预测因素，重点关注发送色情短信、亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）、冲动性和自我表露的作用。通过互联网招募了一个便利样本，对2047名意大利年轻成年人进行了在线调查（男性 = 29.3%，女性 = 53.4%，未表明性别 = 16.9%；平均年龄 = 24.4岁，标准差 = 4.4岁）。该调查包括有关NCII受害情况、发送色情短信行为、色诱敲诈和IPV的问题。我们的研究结果表明，33.9%的受访者报告有发送色情短信的行为，女性发送色情短信的可能性是男性的三倍。此外，3.3%的参与者报告曾是NCII的受害者，超过三分之一的受害者经历过三种或更多类型的NCII受害情况。多元回归分析显示，发送色情短信和IPV是NCII受害情况的重要预测因素，自我表露与冲动性之间的交互作用也是一个重要预测因素。鉴于NCII和IPV之间的紧密连续性，本研究有助于加深对意大利NCII情况的理解，并强调需要采取干预和预防策略来应对NCII和IPV。研究结果还表明，自我表露、冲动性、IPV和NCII受害情况之间的关系很复杂，需要进一步调查，这表明在暴力环境下可能会损害受害者的决策能力。
