Parents’ social comparisons online, distress, and self-efficacy: A longitudinal examination of predictors and effects
As technology becomes more ingrained in everyday life, people are increasingly faced with information about others. Social comparisons provide opportunities for evaluations, and thus, a chance for improvements, but they can also be sources of stress in cases where individuals feel less competent than the comparison target. Parents as a group are active comparers, but few studies have explored potential consequences of parents’ comparisons. In thi…
An examination of parents’ online activities and links to demographic characteristics among parents in Sweden
In this study, we examined parents’ online activities and whether engagement in specific activities attracts certain parents. Additionally, we examined sub-groups of parents regarding their difficulties to interpret and deal with online information. We used a sample of 401 parents of children below the age of five living in Sweden. The results showed that most parents used the Internet frequently, but there were differences in what activities par…
Sexting experiences and motivations among adolescents with ADHD and ASD
Online pornography use and sexual satisfaction in association with relationship satisfaction among middle-aged and older people
After the age of 50, the frequency of partnered sex decreases, and coping strategies for dealing with this change may vary as people reach later adulthood. To date, little is known about how access to partnered sex, satisfaction with sexual frequency, and pornography use are related to relationship satisfaction in middle-aged and older adults. Using a convenient sample of internet users aged 50–96 (N = 693; 55.6% men), we estimated a hierarchical…
Children in dual-residence arrangements: A literature review
Dual residence is a post-divorce living arrangement where children spend up to 50% of their time in each parent's household after separation or divorce. Reflecting societal changes and shifting norms, these arrangements have increased in many Western societies during recent years. The consequences for children have attracted much interest, resulting in a growing body of research. This literature review has a broad scope, reviewing three decades' …
Young Adults’ Qualitative Self-Reports of Their Outcomes of Online Sexual Activities
Online sexual activities (OSA) refer to Internet-based activities, behaviours, and materials that are sexual in nature. Many young adults engage in OSA, but report doing so infrequently. Most OSA outcome research has focused on negative effects of only some types of OSA (e.g., viewing pornography online). The goal of this study was to enhance knowledge on the range of OSA outcomes by qualitatively exploring young adults’ self-reported negative an…
Adults’ responses to bullying: The victimized youth’s perspectives
Children are generally encouraged to tell adults about bullying. Although telling can be effective in ending bullying, adults do not necessarily respond in a way that is helpful. Previous research has rarely included victims’ own thoughts and feelings regarding what adult actions and reactions are experienced as positive and helpful, and which are experienced as negative and unhelpful in managing bullying situations. This paper reports on intervi…
Cybersexuality
When the Internet became available to the general public in the early 1990s, cybersexuality, or rather cybersex, became part of the contemporary vocabulary. Soon thereafter it became the focus for researchers in several academic disciplines. However, 20 years later there is still no agreed upon definition and it is quite unclear to what the term refers – any sexual activity engaged in online or a distinct subcategory. Perhaps cybersex can be unde…

Bothersome Exposure to Online Sexual Content Among Adolescent Girls
Prior research suggests that adolescent girls may react more negatively to online sexual content than boys. This study explored the qualitative experiences of adolescent girls who encountered bothersome or disturbing sexual content online. Fourteen girls (aged 15-17 years) were interviewed online about the context in which they saw bothersome sexual material and the reasons for their negative reactions. Results showed that participants felt bothe…

Effectiveness of coping strategies for victims of cyberbullying
Although cyberbullying is a well-studied online risk, little is known about the effectiveness of various coping strategies for its victims. Therefore, this study on 2,092 Czech children aged 12-18 examined which coping strategies were applied most often and to what extent victims of cyber aggression judged them to be effective. Effectiveness was measured in two ways: the extent to which the coping strategy buffered negative emotions, and the exte…
The Internet as a source of information about sexuality
To use the Internet for sex educational purposes and for sex information has been recognised by prior research as benefits of the technological development and important areas to investigate, but few empirical studies have so far been conducted. The purpose of this study was to identify those who use the Internet to seek information about sexual issues and to examine the reasons for using the Internet for this purpose. A total of 1913 respondents…
Fluid Versus Fixed: A New Perspective on Bisexuality as a Fluid Sexual Orientation Beyond Gender
Sexual orientation has been conceptualized by Ross and Paul (1992) as fixed in terms of sex object (exclusively heterosexual or homosexual) versus fluid (bisexuals, for whom sex of partner may be unimportant). The authors of the present article investigated characteristics of 1,913 young men and women with fixed and fluid sexual orientation recruited in an Internet-based study of sexual behavior in Sweden. One half of the respondents were student…

The results suggested those who purchased sexual merchandi…
