    Arta Dodaj, Kristina Sesar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2025References: 68

    There is little research on sexting in the LGBTQ+ population, especially among LGBTQ+ adolescents and emerging adults who face particular challenges such as body image concerns. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the role of body image factors (body surveillance, body shame, control beliefs) in predicting sexting motivations and behavior in LGBTQ+ youth, adolescents and emerging adults. A total of 847 LGBTQ+ individuals (366 adole…

  • Theory of Planned Behaviour and Sexting Intention of College Student

    Open AccessArta Dodaj, Kristina Sesar et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2023

    The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is a widely used framework for predicting behavior. Considering that technology supported sexual behavior (e.g., sexting) is widespread among emerging adults, it is logical to assume that it is driven by existing social norms, accepted standards of behavior, and the opinions of others, all of which are core constructs of TPB. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine whether intention to sext can be p…

  • A Cross-Cultural Examination of the Sexting Motives and Attitudes

    Open AccessArta Dodaj, Kristina Sesar et al.ARTICLEHuman Behavior and Emerging…2022

    Many sexting studies conducted in the Western cultures have shown that the percentage is higher in less traditional cultures. However, the generalizability of this phenomenon to non-Western cultures has not been extensively researched. The purpose of this study is to examine and explain cross-cultural differences in sexting behavior among subjects from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. A mixed methods approach was used. The first, qualitative p…

  • Tears evoke the intention to offer social support

    Open AccessJanis H Zickfeld, Niels Van De Ven et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental Social…2021Cited by: 3References: 70

    Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in limited generalizability.
