Happy or Unhappy? Mental Health Correlates of Receiving Sexts and Unsolicited Sexual Images
This study investigated the prevalence of receiving sexts among adolescents and its relationship with depressive symptoms and self-esteem. A survey was administered to 728 high school students in Sweden in 2019 and 2020 (50.4% girls and 46.4% boys) using a cross-sectional design. Findings showed that significantly more boys (28.4%) than girls (12.6%) reported having happily received a sexual picture, while significantly more girls (48.8%) than bo…
Sexting behaviour among adolescents: Do friendship quality and social competence matter
Sexting is fast becoming a common activity among adolescents, and an important issue of concern to adults. Previous literature suggests that the sending and/or receiving of sexual images, videos or texts within the peer network is a normative part of adolescent development. Much of the emerging work on sexting has focused on the peer network and emphasised that peer relationships are important contributing factors. Two under-studied elements in t…
Neither Resiliency-Trait nor Resilience-State: Transactional Resiliency/e
Since the 1970s, a proliferation of research and concept analysis of resiliency/e has attempted to clarify whether it is a trait or a state. Based on this dualistic approach, studies have either operationalized 'resiliency' as a personality trait or 'resilience' as a dynamic state. The present review of the concept argues that the trait-state dualism is likely to be a conceptual fallacy, one fundamental reason for the lack of consensus. To facili…
“It's not just sexy pics”: An investigation into sexting behaviour and behavioural problems in adolescents
Sexting has been identified as an emerging online phenomenon among adolescents. However, research investigating its behavioural correlates and the sexting behaviours (i.e., sending and/or receiving) is still scarce. The present study investigated the association between different sexting behaviours and various behavioural problems among Irish adolescents. A sample of 848 students aged 15–18 participated in the study (Mage = 16.4 years). A self-re…
Sex Differences in Adolescent Bullying Behaviours
In recent decades there has been a progressive increase in concern and research into the problems of peer aggression, both in the educational setting and more recently, online. The present study sought to explore sex differences in traditional bullying and cyberbullying, since current literature has not reached a consensus in how bullying involvement could be moderated by sex. The sample consisted of 3,174 adolescents aged 12-17 years old who com…
Bullying and Cyberbullying among Students with Cochlear Implants
Bullying is a significant problem for young people nowadays, regardless of their identity, culture, or background. Although the scientific evidence warns of a greater impact of bullying on vulnerable groups such as cochlear implant (CI) users, few specific studies have been carried out in this regard. As such, the fundamental objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of both traditional bullying and cyberbullying among Spanish adoles…
Blame and responsibility in the context of youth produced sexual imagery: The role of teacher empathy and rape myth acceptance
This study examined Pre-Service Teachers’ (PSTs; N = 92; 75% women, 25% men) tendency to blame students or to feel responsibility when confronted with different vignettes of the sharing of youth produced sexual images. Self-report measures of empathy and rape myth acceptance were collected. Findings showed that PSTs felt more responsible for girl targets depending on the vignette type. Moreover, they blamed the target more in the attention seekin…

Bullying by siblings and peers: Poly‐setting victimization and the association with problem behaviours and depression
BACKGROUND: In recent times, sibling bullying has emerged of interest to researchers concerned with the emotional and behavioural implications for victimization regardless of type and setting. AIMS: This research attempts to extend current knowledge on both peer and sibling bullying and to determine the effects of poly-setting victimization. This paper is concerned with the following objectives: (1) determining the current rate of bullying and vi…
Bullying and Cyberbullying: Their Legal Status and Use in Psychological Assessment
Bullying and cyberbullying have severe psychological and legal consequences for those involved. However, it is unclear how or even if previous experience of bullying and cyberbullying is considered in mental health assessments. Furthermore, the relevance and effectiveness of current legal solutions has been debated extensively, resulting in a desire for a specific legislation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological and lega…
