The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of sexting among high school students as well as
examine the theoretical foundation toward explaining this type of behavior. Specifically, we examined
data from a sample of high school students in rural North Carolina to determine if low self-control
and deviant peer association are constructs for explaining sexting among youth. Results indicated that
both theoretical constructs are in fact predictors of the behavior, as well as other variables. |
