Sexting within adolescents' romantic relationships: How is it related to perceptions of love and verbal conflict?

作者:

Highlights:

• Little is known about the role sexting plays within adolescent romantic relationships.

• We address this gap by investigating sexting from the perspective of the Triangular Theory of Love.

• Sexting was significantly linked with higher perceptions of passion.

• No associations were found between sexting and emotional intimacy and commitment.

• Link between sexting and relationship satisfaction might be limited for adolescents.
