Hampir 30 peratus remaja Amerika Syarikat terbabit dalam kegiatan ‘sexting’ menghantar gambar bogel menerusi e-mel.
Kajian yang dijalankan menunjukkan perbuatan itu begitu berleluasa daripada yang dijangka sebelum ini.
Penyelidik di Cawangan Perubatan Universiti Texas juga mendapati lebih separuh remaja diminta menghantar gambar bogel mereka kepada seseorang dan 31 peratus meminta gambar bogel dihantar kepada mereka.
“Sexting semakin berleluasa di kalangan remaja belasan tahun dan ia mungkin penunjuk yang boleh dipercayai mengenai tingkah laku seksual sebenar,” kata Dr Jeff Temple, Pembantu Profesor Obstetrik dan Ginekologi serta penyelidik utama kajian.
“Saya berpendapat ia penunjuk mengenai apa remaja lakukan dalam kehidupan mereka sekiranya tidak online,” kata Temple.
Tidak seperti kajian online dan kaji selidik serta beberapa terbitan menerusi kajian sebelum ini, penemuan Temple yang berdasarkan kajian terhadap hampir 1,000 pelajar sekolah tinggi di tenggara Texas menunjukkan kadar tinggi kegiatan ‘sexting’ di kalangan remaja.
“Saya berpendapat ia mewakili gambaran lebih tepat mengenai pelajar sekolah tinggi,” kata Temple, merujuk kepada kajian lain.
Remaja yang menjadi responden dalam kaji selidik itu berusia antara 14 hingga 19 tahun tetapi sebahagian besarnya berusia 15 dan 16 tahun.
Lelaki adalah lebih ramai meminta gambar bogel dihantar kepada mereka.
Namun, dalam beberapa kes, remaja perempuan yang memulakannya.
“Kami mendapati, 21 peratus responden perempuan meminta gambar bogel dihantar kepada mereka dan 42 peratus lelaki diminta menghantar gambar itu,” kata Temple.
Meskipun ‘sexting’ yang Temple sifatkan sebagai fenomena telefon pintar adalah lumrah di kalangan remaja, namun ramai mengaku tidak selesa dengan tingkah laku itu. - AP

ReplyDeleteSexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones. The term was first popularized in early 21st century, and is a portmanteau of sex and texting, where the latter is meant in the wide sense of sending a text possibly with images
ReplyDeleteSexting is a result of advances in technology enabling new forms of social interaction. A social danger with sexting is that material can be very easily and widely propagated, over which the originator has no control.
ReplyDeleteMessages with sexual content have been exchanged over all forms of historical media. Newer technology allows sending pictures, and videos, which are intrinsically more explicit and have greater impact, without the involvement of photo printing personnel, or the need of a photo processing dark room at home (just like when using an instant camera, but even easier and less expensive).
ReplyDeleteAn omnibus survey was conducted regarding awareness, perceptions and concerns on the topic of “sexting” among parents of teenagers (13-18). The online survey used the field services of TNS Global. The study reached a nationally representative sample of 2,500 American adults 18+. Out of the total sample, 416 respondents are parents of teens 13-18. The findings enclosed in this report focus on these parents.
ReplyDeleteWhile most are aware, a third of parents of teens 13-18 are in the dark about sexting, reporting that they are not aware or are unsure of the practice. However, awareness is key…parents who are aware of sexting are more likely to talk to their teens about it, are more aware of the legal consequences, as well as the potential dangers associated with sexting, like sexting leading to cyberbullying.
ReplyDeleteAlthough they are aware of the practice, two-thirds of parents do not think that their teens have engaged in any sexting or cyberbullying activities. Only one in ten believes their teen is sending or receiving sexts. Fewer believe their teens are cyberbullying or being cyberbullied.
ReplyDeleteSeven out of ten parents believe there are legal consequences to their teens sexting. Another six in ten are worried sexting will lead to cyberbullying. This concern has led the majority of parents to speak to their 13-18 year old about sexting.
ReplyDeleteWhile two-thirds of parents of teens (69%) are aware of the practice of sexting, 31% are not aware or are unsure. This level of awareness was shared by parents of 13-15 year olds vs. parents of 15-17 year olds, as well as mothers and fathers alike.
ReplyDeleteFully 64% of the parents surveyed do not think that their teens have ever engaged in any sexting or bullying activities. Only 15% of parents believe that their teens have received sext messages, while 12% of parents believe that their teens have sent sext messages.
ReplyDeleteParents of 13-15 year olds reported the same level of sexting by their teens as parents of 16-18 (receiving 13% vs. 16%, sending 9% vs. 10%).Further, parents of teen boys 13-18 reported the same level of sexting by their teens as parents of teen girls (receiving 17% vs. 12%, sending 10% vs. 8%).
ReplyDeleteUnderstandably, parents who have talked to their teen about sexting are more likely than parents who have not to know that their teens have sent sext messages (15% vs. 6%) or received sext messages (19% vs. 7%). Only one in ten parents (8%) believe that their teens have been cyberbullied, while fewer parents believe that their teens have cyberbullied others (4%).
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, one in ten parents admit that they do not know if their teens have been engaged in any sexting or cyberbullying activities (11%). These findings suggest that parents’ perceptions of sexting are not far from reality: about one in five teens 13-18 sext, according to the COX study.
