Young people's sexual self-disclosures in social media profiles can be problematic for those who produce them and for those who consume them. This study merged a content analysis with survey data to identify the characteristics of youth who engaged in online sexual self-disclosure. MySpace profiles belonging to 560 National Study of Youth and Religion respondents in the United States (18 to 23 years old) were analyzed (56,462 content units). A third of the profiles contained at least one sexual self-disclosure; their average incidence was less than one per profile. Online sexual self-disclosure was associated with offline sexual risk behaviors (e.g., sex with casual partners), and with increased frequency of alcohol consumption. Among sexually active females, it was associated with early sexual debut. In light of problem behavior theory, these findings suggest that online sexual self-disclosure may be considered a sexual risk behavior.View full textDownload full textKeywordsadolescents, MySpace, new media, problem behavior theory, self-disclosure, self-presentation, sexual health, sexual self-concepts, social mediaRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17482798.2011.633412

机译：年轻人在社交媒体资料中的性自我披露可能会对产生这些信息的人和那些消费它们的人造成问题。这项研究将内容分析与调查数据相结合，以识别从事在线性自我披露的年轻人的特征。分析了属于美国560名青少年和宗教研究国家（18至23岁）的MySpace档案（56,462个内容单元）。三分之一的个人资料至少包含一项性自我披露；他们的平均发生率低于每个配置文件之一。网上性行为自我披露与线下性行为风险行为（例如与随性伴侣发生性行为）以及饮酒频率增加有关。在性活跃的女性中，它与早期性行为首次出现有关。根据问题行为理论，这些发现表明在线性自我披露可能被视为性风险行为。查看全文下载全文关键词青少年，MySpace，新媒体，问题行为理论，自我披露，自我表述，性健康，性自我概念，社交媒体相关var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand：“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”，servicescompact：“ citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，delicious，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，更多”，pubid：“ ra -4dff56cd6bb1830b“}; var addthis_config = {“ data_track_addressbar”：true，“ ui_click”：true};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17482798.2011.633412
