Goals
"The research aims at adding new knowledge to the literature by looking at the link between distinct sexting behaviours and behavioural problems while controlling for the role of gender and belonging to the LGBTQ community. Given the lack of studies investigating sexting in the Irish context, this study will primarily adopt an explorative nature and will look at the rates of sexting among Irish adolescents, while differentiating for the sexting behaviour.
