N2  - Research on sexting has highlighted the association between sexting coercion and mental health correlates. This study aimed to investigate the psychopathological correlates of different sexting coercion behaviours using clinically validated measures, analysing differences by gender. The sample comprised 1370 Spanish university students (73.6% female; Mage = 21.4, SD = 4.9). Significant differences between males and females were found for engagement in sexting, sexting coercion and sexting victimisation. Males were significantly more likely to engage in sexting coercion perpetration and females were significantly more likely to be victimised by sexting coercion. Female students showed a significant association for all of the sexting behaviour forms and poorer mental health. Implications for prevention and intervention policies are discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
