Hope, cope, or rope? A qualitative content analysis of what distinguishes incels comments on online forums
Incels (i.e., involuntary celibates) perceive rejection by women as the main source of their romantic and sexual distress. Research has identified three recurring types of comments in the incelosphere: Hope, Cope and Rope, but little is known about what is distinctive to each one. This study examined the manifestations and constructs potentially conceptually related to each type of comment. A content analysis was conducted on 167 threads (3,234 c…

I’m Better Than This”: A Qualitative Analysis of the Turning Points Leading to Exiting Inceldom
Scholars are at the beginning stages of understanding the trajectory of incels' deradicalization process. This study aimed to gain insight into the trajectories of individuals who have left or expressed a desire to leave inceldom, by focussing on the turning points that propel incels to deradicalize from the misogynistic ideology associated with inceldom. To achieve this, 28 threads related to the process of exiting inceldom were extracted from r…
Harcèlement au travail chez les jeunes de minorités sexuelles et de genre: Une Analyse De Profils Latents
Au Canada, 23 % des jeunes de minorités sexuelles et de genre (MSG) rapportent avoir été exposé·e·s au harcèlement au travail (HT). Or, les formes de HT sont rarement distinguées et les études traitent souvent des jeunes MSG comme un seul groupe homogène. Grâce à des analyses de profils latents, cette étude vise à examiner les profils de HT chez 1033 travailleur·euse·s MSG de 15 à 29 ans (M = 22,83; ÉT = 0,13) résidant au Canada. Objectifs : 1) i…
« Come on, it’s not that bad! »: Soutien social et registres d’expertise dans les échanges sur l’inexpérience sexuelle chez les jeunes adultes dans Reddit
Les plateformes comme Reddit permettent aux jeunes adultes de se regrouper et de partager leurs expériences. Alors que la période allant du milieu de l’adolescence au début de l’âge adulte est généralement marquée par le passage vers une vie sexuelle active, certaines personnes traversent cette phase de manière différente, perçue comme atypique, car elle déroge aux normes sociosexuelles dominantes. Cette perception stigmatise les jeunes adultes i…

Representations of Virgin Young Adult Men in Internet Macro Memes
Exploration of Emerging Adult Virgins’ Difficulties
Social clock theory posits that off-time transitions, such as virginity loss, are often socially reproached and stigmatized. Research suggests, however, that reasons for virginity in adulthood are heterogeneous and that some emerging adult virgins (EAVs) are struggling socially. To guide the development of interventions tailored to this population, it is important to understand their difficulties. Through individual semi-structured interviews, th…

Sexual Trajectories During Adolescence and Adjustment in Emerging Adulthood
This study examined how adolescents’ sexual trajectories are associated with achievement of emerging adulthood developmental tasks (educational attainment, full-time employment, romantic involvement) and psychosocial outcomes (problems with alcohol, depression, self-esteem). Trajectories (identified in a previous report by Rossi, Poulin, & Boislard) based on annual number of sexual partners from ages 16 to 22 (i.e., abstainers, low-increasing, me…
Why Do Socially Withdrawn Children Tend to Become Heterosexually Active Later than Their Peers? A Mediation Model
Socially withdrawn children are more likely to be heterosexually inactive in early adulthood. This study aimed to test a three-mediator model. We hypothesized that social withdrawal during childhood would hinder a sense of social competence in early adolescence, limiting other-gender friendships in mid-adolescence, in turn limiting involvement in romantic relationships in late adolescence, and thus favoring a later transition into sexual activity…
Trajectories of Annual Number of Sexual Partners from Adolescence to Emerging Adulthood: Individual and Family Predictors
Observed Normativity and Deviance in Friendship Dyads’ Conversations About Sex and the Relations With Youths’ Perceived Sexual Peer Norms
The current study examined the relations between observed normativity and deviance during adolescents' and young adults' conversations about sex with their friends and their individual perceptions of sexual peer norms. Participants were 16-21-year-old same-sex friendship dyads (31 male and 30 female dyads) who performed a peer interaction task that consisted of five discussion assignments focusing on party planning, sexual double standards, condo…
Sexuality (and Lack Thereof) in Adolescence and Early Adulthood: A Review of the Literature
Youth sexuality has been primarily studied with a focus on its potential public health issues, such as sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies, and its comorbidity with other risky behaviors. More recently, it has been studied as a normative step in romantic partnerships, either pre- or post-marital, as well as outside the context of romantic involvement. In this paper, we review the extensive literature on sexuality in adolescen…
