Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio fue triple: validar una versión de la Escala de Comportamientos de Sexting en adolescentes, evaluar la prevalencia de dichos comportamientos y determinar sus consecuencias asociadas. Participaron un total de 1,271 estudiantes(50.8% chicas), con una media de edad de 15.6 (DT = 1.13). Los resultados muestran a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio un buen ajuste por el modelo bidimensional formado por ítems que se agrupan en el envío de fotos y/o vídeos (α = .83) y el envío de mensajes de texto con contenido erótico/sexual (α = .83). Se ha identificado que el 52.8% de los adolescentes han llevado a cabo conductas de sexting, siendo mayor el envío de textos erótico/sexuales (91.7%) que de fotos y/o vídeos (57.8%), y que los chicos son los que más contenidos envían. Además, el 11.6% de los adolescentes fueron obligados a enviar contenido de sexting y el 5.5% fueron chantajeados
