“…There were not enough studies to allow separate meta-analysis on this PUI facet using quantitative data (Kelly et al, 2018; Kenny et al, 2018; Marco et al, 2018; Olenik-Shemesh and Heiman, 2017; Pistella et al, 2019). However, our narrative synthesis identified profound effect between the prevalence of cyberbullying and how one perceives their body, leading to disordered eating patterns and negative body appraisal.…”

“…A number of studies have used an ‘Internet Addiction’ or ‘PUI’ paradigm and associated ‘global’ problematic usage of the internet, with eating disorder psychopathology, (Alpaslan et al, 2015; Canan et al, 2014; Çelik et al, 2015; Fernández-villa et al, 2015; Martínez-González et al, 2014; Rodgers et al, 2013; Tao, 2013). Other studies examined other specific facets of usage, for example use of calorie tracking Apps (Embacher Martin et al, 2018; Simpson and Mazzeo, 2017), dating Apps (Griffiths et al, 2018b; Rodgers et al, 2019; Tran et al, 2019), cyberbullying victimization (Kelly et al, 2018; Kenny et al, 2018; Marco et al, 2018; Olenik-Shemesh and Heiman, 2017; Pistella et al, 2019), and consumption of eating disorder promoting content (pro-ED content, within SNS or in the global online environment), like ‘fitspiration’, ‘thinspiration’ (Griffiths et al, 2018a) or pro-ED (pro-eating-disorder content) (Rodgers et al, 2012). In reality, many of those facets of usage overlap and co-occur with each other while we interact with the online milieu (Figure 2).…”

Eating disorders are widespread illnesses with significant impact. There is growing concern about how those at risk of eating disorders overuse online resources to their detriment. We conducted a pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis of studies examining Problematic Usage of the Internet (PUI) and eating disorders. The meta-analysis comprised n=32,295 participants, in which PUI was correlated with significant eating disorder psychopathology Pearson r=0.22 (s.e.=0.04, p<0.001), body dissatisfaction r=0.16 (s.e.=0.02, p<0.001), drive-for-thinness r=0.16 (s.e.=0.04, p<0.001) and dietary restraint r=0.18 (s.e.=0.03). Effects were not moderated by gender, PUI facet or study quality. Results are in support of PUI impacting significantly on vulnerable populations towards the development or maintenance of eating disorder psychopathology; males may be equally vulnerable to these potential effects. Prospective and experimental studies in the field suggest that small but significant effects exist and may have accumulative influence over time and across all age groups. Those findings are important to expand our understanding of PUI as a multifaceted concept and its impact on multiple levels of ascertainment of eating disorder psychopathology.

“…Participants reported their sexual orientation as: heterosexual; lesbian; gay; bisexual; other sexual orientations. Following a procedure suggested in previous studies (e.g., Pistella et al, 2019 ), sexual orientation was then dummy coded for the purposes of our study (0 = heterosexual; 1 = LGB+).…”

Introduction This study investigated the relationships of pandemic-related stress and coping strategies with different kinds of sexting (i.e., experimental, risky, and emotional) during the COVID-19 lockdown in the Italian context. Methods A sample of 1929 emerging adults (Mage = 24.17, SDage = 2.75; 71.6% girls) completed an online survey about their sexting behaviors during the national lockdown in Italy. Data were gathered in April/May 2020, from 6th to 11th week of home confinement due to COVID-19 pandemic. Hierarchical regression and mediation analyses were performed. Results Pandemic-related stress directly predicted only risky and emotional sexting. Experimental and emotional sexting were positively predicted by social support, and negatively predicted by turning to religion. Risky and emotional sexting were positively predicted by avoidance, and negatively predicted by problem solving. Adaptive coping (i.e., social support) mediated the relationships from pandemic-related stress to both experimental and emotional sexting. Maladaptive coping (i.e., avoidance and problem solving) mediated the relationships from pandemic related-stress to risky and emotional sexting. Conclusions Sexting was a coping tool during COVID-19 lockdown, showing both adaptive and maladaptive facets. Policy Implications Findings suggest new directions for implementing programs of sexual education and safer Internet use targeted to young people.

Sexting has been defined as sharing sexually suggestive content (i.e., sexts) via Internet or smartphone. To date, only a few studies investigated the role of personality traits in relation to sending or receiving sexts, and most of them used the Five Factor Model of Personality. No studies applied the theoretical model of HEXACO six personality traits (i.e., honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) when examining different types of sexting (i.e. sending own sexts, risky sexting, sharing sexts from someone else without his/her permission, sexting under pressure).Thus, this is the first study that, using a cross-cultural perspective, investigated HEXACO personality predictors of sexting behaviors considered as a multidimensional construct. A total of 5542 participants from 13 to 30 years old (Mage = 20.36; SDage = 3.67; 60.4% girls and 39.6% boys) from 10 different countries participated in the study. Participants completed the sexting behaviors questionnaire and the HEXACO personality inventory. Four hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to investigate which HEXACO personality traits predicted different sexting behaviors, controlling for country, biological sex, age, sexual identity status, and dating relationship status. Results showed that honesty-humility and conscientiousness were negatively predictive of all investigated sexting behaviors.Emotionality and extraversion were positively related, and agreeableness was negatively related to sending own sexts and risky sexting. Finally, openness to experience was negatively related to sharing sexts from someone else without his/her consent and sexting under pressure. Results have implications for the development and implementation of sexual education and prevention programs aimed towards adolescents and young adults.
