Resumen
Antecedentes: El sexting es un fenómeno que ha transformado las interacciones sexuales entre personas. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han evaluado estos cambios a lo largo del tiempo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las diferencias en conductas, motivaciones y actitudes hacia el sexting entre dos grupos de jóvenes evaluados en dos momentos diferentes: uno en 2017 (Sexting group; SG17) y otro en 2023 (Sexting group; SG23). Método: Se administró las Sexting Behaviors Scale, Sexting Motivations Scale, y Sexting Attitudes Scale a 1246 jóvenes españoles (51.4% mujeres y 48.6% hombres) de entre 17 y 25 años (M = 20.36, DT = 2.45). Resultados: El SG23 compartió imágenes o mensajes sexuales en redes sociales más frecuentemente e informó de una mayor frecuencia en ocho de las diez motivaciones para practicar sexting. Formar parte del SG23 también se asoció con una mayor tendencia a mantener una actitud positiva hacia el sexting en el contexto de una relación y una menor percepción de los riesgos asociados. Conclusiones: Este estudio evidencia la rápida evolución de las tendencias sexuales en la era digital. Es esencial comprender estos cambios para diseñar estrategias preventivas dirigidas a mitigar los potenciales efectos adversos del sexting sobre la salud mental.
