| Abstract: | 研究背景與目的：傳接性訊息（Sexting）行為可能涉及了法律及犯罪問題，並且過去研究也指出其與個人身心發展及心理健康相關議題有所關聯，儘管如此，目前國內對於傳接性訊息有關之研究仍相當缺乏。此外，過去研究指出傳接性訊息行為的可能成因與同儕影響、傳接性訊息正向預期及性態度有關。因此本研究目的為探討台灣大學生傳接性訊息之現況，並進一步釐清傳接性訊息正向預期在同儕影響、性態度及傳接性訊息行為間的角色。方法：本研究運用中部一所大學和科大新生網路行為調查所搜集的部份資料進行研究，共1266位年齡介於18-24歲間之大學生完成了傳接性訊息行為問卷、傳接性訊息的同儕壓力量表、傳接性訊息預期量表中之「傳送性訊息的正向預期」及「接收性訊息的正向預期」分量表及性態度量表中的「性倫理」分量表。以SPSS 20.0版進行本研究之各項統計分析，並以AMOS軟體以結構方程模式（SEM）檢驗傳接性訊息正向預期之中介效果，及驗證本研究之假設模型。結果：大學生傳接性訊息之盛行率為40.4%，傳送性訊息之盛行率為9.9%，接收性訊息之盛行率為39.2%。皮爾森積差相關分析結果顯示傳接性訊息正向預期、同儕影響、性態度及傳接性訊息行為互為顯著正相關。SEM結果顯示大學生傳接性訊息正向預期在同儕影響及傳接性訊息行為間為部分中介的角色，且傳送及接收性訊息行為也為相同結果；傳接性訊息正向預期在性態度與傳接性訊息行為間則是完全中介的角色，傳送性訊息亦為相同結果，然而正向預期在接收性訊息行為則為部分中介之角色，並進一步建構出傳接性訊息行為、傳送性訊息行為、接收性訊息行為之成因模型，且模型皆具有不錯之適配度。結論：本研究結果說明了大學生之傳接性訊息正向預期在同儕影響及性態度與傳接性訊息行為間的角色，及建構出傳接性訊息行為成因之模型，資料可促進大眾及相關專業人員對此議題的了解，並提供專業人員對此議題進行預防處遇的可行建議。
Objectives: In recent years, sexting has been a noteworthy phenomenon in the related issues of internet media information dissemination, which has raised discussions from many scholars, experts and governments in various countries. Sexting may involve legal and criminal issues, personal safety, mental development, and mental health. Despite sexting have been indicated to be linked to physical and mental health issues, scientific investigations on prevalence rates across culture and theoretical models for sexting have been limited. Previous studies have shown that sexting behavior were related to peer influence of sexting, sexting positive expectancy, and sexual attitude. The present study was designed to investigate examine the role of sexting positive expectancy in the relationship of peer influence and sexual attitude to sexting behavior among college students. Methods: This study is part of the survey for internet use among freshmen. A total of 1,266 college students aged between 18–24 years recruited from the central part of Taiwan completed the survey including Sexting Behavior Questionnaire, Peer Pressure Scale for Sexting Behavior, Sending Sexual Message and Receiving Sexual Message Positive Expectancy Scales, and the Sexual Attitude Scale. The SPSS for Windows version 20.0 and Amos 21.0 were used for data analyses. Structure equation modeling （SEM） analyses were conducted to determine the mediating effect of sexting positive expectancy and validate the hypothesis model. Results: Results showed that the prevalence was 40.4% for sexting behavior, 9.9% for sending sexual message, and 39.2% for receiving sexual message. The peer influence, sexual attitude, and sexting positive expectancy were significantly and positively correlated with sexting behavior, peer influence and sexual attitude were also positively correlated with sexting positive expectancy. Structural equation modeling results showed that sexting positive expectancy played a partial mediating role between peer influence and sexting behavior. The same results were found for the behaviors of “sending” and “receiving” sexual message. Moreover, sexting positive expectancy played a fully mediating role between sexual attitude and sexting behavior. The same results were found for the behavior of “sending” sexual message, but not for the behavior of “receiving” sexual message. Each of measurement model demonstrated a good fit. Conclusion: This study results has provided evidence to clarify the role of sexting positive expectancy in the process of sexting behavior of undergraduate students severed as reference for future preventive strategies of sexting. |
