When adolescents receive sexual messages on the internet: Explaining experiences of risk and harm
作者：
Highlights：
• We examine the risk, and resulting harm, of receiving sexual messages online among adolescents.
• Increased psychological difficulties and sensation seeking increases the risk of receiving sexual messages.
• Increased psychological difficulties but decreased sensation seeking increases reported harm.
• Online and offline risk behaviors mediate the likelihood of risk but not harm.
• Identifying these risk factors will aid policy makers to target help on those who are more vulnerable.
