Abstract

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology and the popularity of intelligent electronic devices, increasing attention has been to sexting behavior among adolescents and its negative consequences which are driven by social networking. Therefore, the paper reviews the assessment tools and current situation regarding adolescent sexting exposure, the influencing factors of sexting behavior, and the impact of sexting behavior on adolescent physical and mental health. It also proposes future research prospects based on the shortcomings of existing research, thereby providing a reference for further studies and the follow-up development of intervention strategies to address sexting behavior, so as to promote sexual health and sexual development among adolescents.
