Do adolescent and young adult sexters and non-sexters have distinct value orientations
While there is much research on the individual correlates of sexting, the relationship with personal values is understudied. This study aimed to investigate whether adolescents and young adults (14–21 years old) involved in different sexting behaviors (i.e., experimental sexting, non-consensual sexting, sexting under pressure, risky sexting) have distinct value orientations according to Schwartz’s model. A self-report questionnaire was completed …
Factors associated with connectedness to social media influencers among Italian and Dutch young adults
Parasocial bonds with Social Media Influencers (SMIs) can significantly influence followers’ behaviors, attitudes, and well-being, especially during adolescence and young adulthood. This study examined how diverse dimensions of connectedness with SMIs (i.e., escape, imitation, modeling, and aspiration) relate to perceived social connectedness in offline, combined offline-online social connectedness and online contexts, as well as to social self-e…
Living with a chronic illness as a challenge to psychological development
The aim of this paper is to propose lifespan developmental psychology as a theoretical framework for analysing the psychological aspects of living with chronic illness. The basic assumption of lifespan developmental psychology is that development occurs throughout the entire human life-cycle. Furthermore, developmental psychology emphasizes the active role played by the individual in one's own development and pays particular attention to the adap…

Cyber Dating Violence (CDV) is a prevalent and concerning phenomenon among young people, characterized by abusive behaviors toward a romantic partner through digital platforms. Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), defined as the anxiety of being excluded from rewarding experiences, is closely linked to excessive digital engagement and the need for constant connectivity. While previous studies have associated FoMO with bullying and cyberstalking, its relat…
More Support for the Dependency-Resentment Hypothesis
Previously in Sexuality & Culture ( S&C ), we published an article titled “On men’s problematic pornography use and hostile attitudes toward women” (Wright and Tokunaga in Sex Cult, 2025. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12119-025-10424-2 ). This article presented our first articulation of the Dependency-Resentment Hypothesis (DRH) of men’s problematic pornography use and hostile attitudes toward women. It also presented analyses of data collected in Gre…
Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and sexting motivations among Italian young adults
Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) is characterized by an intense desire to continually stay connected with others and is strictly linked to motivational factors implicated in social interactions, particularly through online communication. FoMO represents a risk factor for problematic use of communication through social media platforms. Only a few studies have explored the relationship between FoMO and sexting. This study is the first to investigate the …
Is Adolescents’ Cyber Dating Violence Perpetration Related to Problematic Pornography Use? The Moderating Role of Hostile Sexism
Intimate partner violence is an important public health problem. Cyber dating violence (CDV) is a form of intimate partner violence perpetrated within a dating relationship via new communication technologies. This study investigated the moderating roles of hostile and benevolent sexism in the relationship between problematic pornography use and CDV perpetration. The Cyber Pornography Use Inventory, the Cyber Dating Violence Inventory, and the Amb…
Development and validation of a measure for academic locus of control
Previous research highlighted the significant role of locus of control in predicting academic achievement and dropout, emphasizing the need for reliable measures to identify factors that foster academic success. This study aimed to develop an academic locus of control (ALoC) measure. Participants were 432 Italian university students (69 males, 363 females) pursuing bachelor’s ( N = 339) and master’s ( N = 123) degrees in Italy. The ALoC scale res…
Academic satisfaction among university students during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction Academic satisfaction (AS) is considered by researchers and educators as a key variable to explain both academic success and the main problems of university students. AS is a complex construct affected by a range of factors, both internal and external to the individual. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of certain individual (motivation and self-regulated learning), social (relationships with other students and with …
Self-regulated learning self-efficacy, motivation, and intention to drop-out
University dropout represents a serious problem across the world. Past research has suggested the merits of studying both additive and multiplicative effects among the variables that affect the intention to drop out. In the present study, we tested the potential moderating effect of friendships at university, on both the association between self-regulated learning self-efficacy and intention to drop out and the associations between different moti…
Self-efficacy, subjective well-being and positive coping in adolescents with regard to Covid-19 lockdown
Mothers’ and fathers’ bimodal communication in dyadic and triadic interaction with their infants
Parents play an important role in children’s language development. To our knowledge, no studies have compared fathers’ and mothers’ use of gestural and verbal communication in dyadic versus triadic contexts. This study aimed at analyzing similarities and differences in the bimodal communication of parents when they play alone with their infant and when all three play together. Twelve Italian-speaking families with infants aged 16 months took part…
The Relationship Between Trait Emotional Intelligence and Sexting in Adolescence
The Relationship between Dark Triad Personality Traits and Sexting Behaviors among Adolescents and Young Adults across 11 Countries
The present study provided empirical evidence that different sexting behaviors were predicted by Dark Triad Personality Traits, showing a relevant role of Machiavellianism in all kinds of investigated sexting behaviors. Research, clinical, and education implications for prevention programs are discussed
Patterns of love and sexting in teen dating relationships
According to the triangular love theory, this study investigated the roles of three components of love (i.e., passion, intimacy, commitment) and the moderating role of conflicts in predicting different forms of sexting (i.e., experimental, nonconsensual, under pressure) in teen dating relationships. Participants were 409 adolescents (M age = 17.20, SD age = 1.61; 62.6% girls) who completed an online questionnaire. Three moderated regressions were…
