About “third-people forwarding” model, using Instagram (OR: 2.74; 95% CI: 1.16-six.51), readiness in order to sext (OR: 2.00; 95% CI: step 1.48-dos.72), intercourse (OR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.32-dos.91), that have an enchanting/intimate mate (OR: step one.86; 95% CI: step 1.dos9-dos.68), using Myspace (OR: 1.53; 95% CI: step one.03-2.26), sexting normalisation (OR: step one.43; 95% CI: step 1.09-step 1.87) and you can age (OR: step 1.43; 95% CI: step one.22-1.66) had been somewhat connected with wedding in the third-team forwarding.
Regarding “researching through an intermediary” design, playing with Instagram (OR: dos.step one6; 95% CI: step one.47-step 3.19), sexting normalisation (OR: step 1.84; 95% CI: 1.5dos-dos.24), having a romantic/intimate spouse (OR: 1.7step 1; 95% CI: step 1.35-dos.17), intercourse (OR: 1.4step one; 95% CI: step 1.step one1-1.80) and you can age (OR: step 1.36; 95% CI: step one.23-step 1.49) was indeed somewhat pertaining to involvement during the researching through a mediator.
Intercourse distinctions
The latest regression designs had been tall. Nagelkerke’s R dos are .50 for girls and you may .41 for males on “sending” model; .31 for women and .29 for guys to your “receiving” model; .18 for females and you can .24 for guys toward “third-team forwarding” model; and you will .fourteen for girls and you may .twenty-two to possess men to your “getting via a mediator” design (Dining table cuatro:
