| Abstract | Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos sekstinga, rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja te nekih odrednica mentalnog zdravlja studenata Republike Hrvatske. Analiza je provedena na 338 sudionika. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 212 (62,7%) žena i 126 (37,3%) muškaraca. Prosječna dob iznosila je 21 godinu i 10 mjeseci. S obzirom na status veze, 170 (50,3%) sudionika bilo je slobodno, dok ih je 151 (44,7%) bilo u vezi. Instrumenti koji su korišteni u istraživanju su: hrvatski prijevod Upitnika seksualnih ponašanja i motiva (Sexting Behaviours and Motives Questionnaire, Del Rey i sur., 2021), koji su prevele Dodaj i sur. (2022); Upitnik sigurnog seksualnog ponašanja (Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire, DiIorio i sur., 1993), koji je prevela autorica ovog istraživanja te Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS-21; Lovibond i Lovibond, 1995; prijevod: Bakić, 1995). Istraživanje je pokazalo postojanje značajnih spolnih razlika s obzirom na upuštanje u rizična seksualna ponašanja. Pritom su se studenti češće upuštali u rizična seksualna ponašanja. Također, utvrđene su značajne spolne razlike u depresivnosti i stresu, pri čemu su studentice iskazivale više depresivnih i stresnih simptoma. Nasuprot tome, nisu utvrđene značajne razlike u pogledu upuštanja u rizična seksualna ponašanja te sklonosti različitim oblicima sekstinga, s obzirom na status veze. Nadalje, nisu dobivene značajne korelacije između sekstinga i rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja te rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja i odrednica mentalnog zdravlja. No, utvrđena je značajna pozitivna korelacija sekstinga s depresivnošću, no samo na uzorku studenata/ica u vezi. Ovim radom, dan je doprinos istraživanju sekstinga i njegova odnosa s rizičnim seksualnim ponašanjem i odrednicama mentalnog zdravlja, na uzorku studenata/ica Republike Hrvatske. |
| Abstract (english) | The aim of the research was to examine the relationship between sexting, risky sexual behavior and some determinants of mental health among students in the Republic of Croatia. The analysis was performed on 338 participants. 212 (62,7%) women and 126 (37,3%) men participated in the research. The average age was 21 years and 10 months. Regarding relationship status, 170 (50,3%) participants were single, while 151 (44,7%) were in a relationship. The instruments used in the research are: the Croatian translation of the Sexting Behaviors and Motives Questionnaire (Del Rey et al., 2021; translated by Dodaj et al., 2022); Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire (DiIorio et al., 1993), which was translated by the author of this research, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21; Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995; translation: Bakić, 1995). The research showed the existence of significant gender differences with regard to engaging in risky sexual behaviors. Male students engaged in risky sexual behaviors more often female students. Also, significant gender differences in depression and stress were found, with female students showing more depressive and stressful symptoms. In contrast, no significant differences were found regarding engaging in risky sexual behaviors and preferences for different forms of sexting, with regard to relationship status. Furthermore, no significant correlations were obtained between sexting and risky sexual behavior and risky sexual behavior and determinants of mental health. In contrast, significant positive correlations were found between sexting and depression but only in a sample of student sin relationship. This work contributes to the research of sexting and its relationship with risky sexual behavior and determinants of mental health, based on a sample of students from the Republic of Croatia. |
