Abstract

To date, much of the research that has examined online bullying has viewed it as a direct correlate of face-to-face bullying. However, bullying may take different forms online, as when individuals share sexually explicit texts or pictures that were sent privately or press others into doing the same. Thus, this study explored how cyberbullying through sexting is related to college student well-being as measured by self-esteem, depression, and academic and social adjustment to college. Among 284 college students, sexting was unrelated to college adjustment or well-being, but was moderately correlated with cyberbullying. Overall, students did not report being affected by involuntary sexting in the same way as traditional cyberbullying.
