Sexting is recognized as a common public issue as well as a prominent issue among researchers. Authors usually define sexting as sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages or nude, partially nude, or sexually suggestive digital images of one's self or others via a cell phone, e-mail, Internet, or Social Networking Service (Brown, Keller, & Stern, 2009; Calvert, 2009; Corbett, 2009; Dilberto & Mattey, 2009; Halder & Jaishankar, 2014; Jaishankar, 2009; Walker & Moak, 2010). Young people who engage in sexting have a higher risk of engaging in risky sexual behaviors (GordonMesser, Bauermeister, Grodzinski, & Zimmerman, 2013). Further, sexting is more common among young people from dysfunctional families (GordonMesser et al., 2013) and in young people with certain character traits, such as extroversion and neuroticism (Delevi & Weisskrich, 2013). More recently some authors have mentioned that dysfunctional styles of emotion regulation may be an important predictor for risky behavior, including sexting (Cooper, Quayle, Jonsson, & Svedin, 2016). Emotion regulation is most widely defined as the process by which individuals influence emotions, and how they will experience and express emotions (Gross, 1998). However, recently other authors (e.g. Gratz, Weiss, & Tull, 2015) argued that defining emotion regulation as a strategy of modulation emotions is too simplistic. Therefore, it was proposed a conceptualization of emotion regulation as ability to monitor, accept, and understand emotions (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). The aim of this viewpoint is to examine the existing literature on sexting and emotion regulation. Looking at the studies that examine association between sexting and emotion regulation across all age categories provided basis for more definitive conclusions that cannot be drawn from the data based on a single study.
