Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Recent research has established a link between teenagers’ exposure to sexually explicit online material and their uncertainty about sexual beliefs and values. However, research has paid little attention to the processes that may underlie this association. We hypothesized that the relation between exposure to sexually explicit online material and sexual uncertainty would be mediated by how adolescents perceive the social reality depicted in such material. Drawing on a sample of 1,519 Dutch adolescents aged 13 to 18, we first established with a confirmatory factor analysis that adolescents perceive sexually explicit online material along three dimensions: unaffectionate sex, male dominance, and female objectification. We found that exposure to sexually explicit online material exerted, via perceived male dominance and perceived female objectification, an indirect positive effect on sexual uncertainty. However, exposure to sexually explicit online material retained a significant direct positive relation with sexual uncertainty, indicating that the perceived male dominance and perceived objectification partially mediated this relation. This pattern applied equally to male and female adolescents.
