Abstract

The development of social media brings positive and negative impacts on adolescents. One of the negative impacts is that it makes it easier for teens to engage in online sexual activity. The research aims to identify the duration of adolescents using SNSs, do they do sexting or not, the factor affecting them, and what impact they have on their daily lives. Researchers surveyed 181 adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. The data was collected using a descriptive questionnaire about SNSs usage and motivation to Sexting Questionnaire (MSQ). The researcher adapted and tested the validity and reliability of the MSQ, which included 11 valid items with a reliability score of 0.881 and a KMO score of 0.728. The results showed that 12% of respondents had sexted at least once during the last three months to ensure that their body image was acceptable to their partner and sexual urges. Research data also shows that self-control is the main thing for those who want to stop sexting. The findings encourage school counselors' role in providing counseling services for adolescents to have better self-control as an effective way to eliminate sexting intentions.
