Implication

Reveals factors shaping bystander responses to non-consensual sexting, highlighting the need for integrated strategies.

Key Points

This research aims to identify factors influencing bystander responses to non-consensual sexting using multiple theoretical frameworks.
Utilized structural equation modeling to analyze data from 2,496 adolescents aged 11–18.
Compared three theoretical frameworks: Theory of Planned Behavior, Theory of Normative Social Behavior, and Social Learning Theory.
Examined factors like subjective norms, intention to help, and self-efficacy.
Social Learning Theory explained 55.6% of the variance in responses, showing the strongest influence.
Theory of Planned Behavior accounted for 37.9% of responses, indicating a moderate influence.
Theory of Normative Social Behavior explained 28.5% of the variance, reflecting its lower impact.
