| Samenvatting | The main aim of this study was to investigate
the causal nature of the relationship between adolescents’
risky sexual behavior on the internet and their perceptions
of this behavior. Engagement in the following online
behaviors was assessed: searching online for someone to
talk about sex, searching online for someone to have sex,
sending intimate photos or videos to someone online, and
sending one’s telephone number and address to someone
exclusively known online. The relationship between these
behaviors and adolescents’ perceptions of peer involvement,
personal invulnerability, and risks and benefits was
investigated. A two-wave longitudinal study among a
representative sample of 1,445 Dutch adolescents aged
12–17 was conducted (49% females). Autoregressive
cross-lagged structural equation models revealed that perceived
peer involvement, perceived vulnerability, and
perceived risks were all significant predictors of risky
sexual online behavior 6 months later. No reverse causal
paths were found. When the relationships between perceptions
and risky sexual online behavior were modeled
simultaneously, only perceived peer involvement was a
determinant of risky sexual online behavior. Findings
highlight the importance of addressing peer involvement in
future interventions to reduce adolescents’ risky sexual
online behavior. |
