Abstract Zbog sveprisutnog utjecaja interneta i društvenih mreža u svakodnevnom životu pojedinca, adolescenti su često meta uključivanja u brojna ponašanja, a među time i u ponašanje sekstinga. Prethodna istraživanja nude širok raspon rezultata te objašnjavaju razlike u sekstingu uzimajući u obzir spol i kontekst romantičnih veza, ali još uvijek postoji potreba za istraživanjem raširenosti sekstinga u kontekstu adolescentskih veza. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati raširenost i motive sekstinga među adolescentima u mladenačkim vezama, kao i povezanost sekstinga s različitim aspektima mladenačkih veza (predanost u vezi i zadovoljstvo vezom). Na uzorku srednjoškolaca (Nžena=139,Nmuškaraca=81), koji razvojno pripadaju razdoblju adolescencije (M=16.78, SD=0.98), korišten je Upitnik o sekstingu i motivima sekstinga (Del Rey i sur., 2021), a uz njega korišten je i Upitnik općih sociodemografskih podataka. Provedenom analizom utvrđena je razlika između dječaka i djevojčica u slanju seksualnog sadržaja, pri čemu je otkriveno kako su dječaci češće od djevojčica slali poruke seksualnog sadržaja, ali razlika između dječaka i djevojčica u primanju i prosljeđivanju seksualnog sadržaja nije utvrđena. Istraživanjem nisu utvrđene ni razlike u sekstingu s obzirom na status veze. Po pitanju motiva nije pronađena razlika u čestini motiva slanja i prosljeđivanja seksualnog sadržaja između srednjoškolaca koji se nalaze i srednjoškolaca koji se ne nalaze u romantičnoj vezi, osim za motiv prosljeđivanja „zato što je naša veza završila“, gdje je utvrđeno da su srednjoškolci koji se ne nalaze u romantičnoj vezi oni koji češće koriste taj motiv u odnosu na one koji se nalaze u vezi. Provedene su i korelacijske analize, pri čemu nisu utvrđene statistički značajne povezanosti između čestica sekstinga te predanosti i zadovoljstva vezom. Temeljem analize rezultata, koji se tumače u odnosu na prethodne nalaze o sekstingu, može se zaključiti da još uvijek postoji motivacija za daljnjim pregledom ove teme, kako bi se pritom osigurao dublji i sveobuhvatniji uvid u kompleksnost i dinamičnost sekstinga.
Abstract (english) Due to the ubiquitous influence of the internet and social media in the daily life of an individual, adolescents are often the target of involvement in numerous behaviors, and sometimes also in sexting behavior. Previous research includes a wide range of results that explain differences in sexting taking into account gender and the context of romantic relationships, but there is still a need to investigate the prevalence of sexting in the context of adolescent relationships. The aim of this research was to examine the prevalence and motives of sexting among adolescents in youth relationships, as well as the connection of sexting with different aspects of youth relationships (relationship commitment and relationship satisfaction). A questionnaire on sexting and sexting motives (Del Rey et al., 2021) was used on a sample of high school students (Nfemale=139, Nmale=81), who developmentally belong to the period of adolescence (M=16.78, SD=0.98), and along with it, the Questionnaire of general sociodemographic data was used. The conducted analysis established a difference between boys and girls in the prevalence of sending sexual content, whereby it was revealed that boys sent messages with sexually explicit content more often than girls, but the difference between boys and girls in the prevalence of receiving and forwarding sexually explicit content was not established. The research also found no differences in sexting regarding to relationship status. Regarding the motives, no difference was found in the frequency of the motives for sending and forwarding sexual content between high school students who are and high school students who are not in a romantic relationship, except for the motive of forwarding "because our relationship ended", where it was determined that high school students who are not in a romantic relationship use this motive more often than high school students who are in a relationship. Correlation analyzes were also conducted, where no statistically significant correlations were found between the particles of sexting and commitment and satisfaction with the relationship. Based on the analysis of the results, which are interpreted in relation to the previous findings on sexting, it is possible to conclude that there is still motivation for further review of this topic, to provide a deeper and more comprehensive insight into the complexity and dynamism of sexting.
