DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The majority of US adolescents aged 12-18 have regular access to the internet and a significant portion engage in High-risk Internet Behaviors (HRIBs) including online exposure to sexually explicit content and engaging in online social behaviors that could lead to internet-initiated victimization. Current internet safety programs rel heavily on parental monitoring as a primary means of protecting teens yet over 40% of teen internet users report unwanted exposure to sexual content with another 20% admitting to intentionally seeking online pornographic materials. Moreover, an increasing number of parents allow their kids to over-report their age in order to be granted access to social networking sites-places where risky online social behaviors such as divulging personal identifying information and posting sexually provocative self-descriptors increase vulnerability for online exploitation, and where most internet-initiated sex crimes originate. Extant internet safety studies are highly criticized for reliance on adolescent self-reports. Hence, there is limited objective knowledge about the magnitude and impact of HRIBs and, of equal importance, which teens might be the most susceptible. Our research shows that sexually abused adolescents may be especially vulnerable to HRIBs because these victims demonstrate a greater propensity toward pornography consumption, provocative online self-presentations, online sexual advances, offline meetings, risky sexual behaviors and sexual re-victimization than do their non-abused peers. Our multidisciplinary team will conduct a naturalistic study of 400 adolescent females aged 12-15; half of whom recently experienced substantiated sexual abuse. The study will be the first to go beyond adolescent self-reports of HRIBs via (1) assessing adolescents' "internet footprints" by recording all URL activity within a 4-week period and quantifying URLs for adult and sexual content, and (2) objectively quantifying HRIBs both online and in-vivo in the lab. These procedures, along with a comprehensive psychosocial interview, will be repeated every 15 months for 2 subsequent time points in an accelerated longitudinal, cross-sequential design allowing for cross-lag and developmental modeling across adolescence from age 12-18. The overall objective is to fully inform teen internet safety campaigns by providing objective HRIBs prevalence rates and articulating their impact on adolescent development. By focusing on the high-risk group of sexually abused adolescents and testing a conceptual model which includes a comprehensive set of risk and protective factors, findings will not only enhance treatment models for abuse victims, but will orient parents and policy makers about the best ways to promote internet safety for teens in general. This innovative research will fill important gaps in school-based internet safety programs by highlighting the implications for provocative self-presentations and recommending ways to protect teens whose parents are not internet savvy or are otherwise uninvolved. Results will enhance secondary prevention and intervention efforts by identifying potent, adolescent, family and contextual variables that serve to curtail the impact of HRIBs once they occur.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们大多数12-18岁的青少年都可以定期访问互联网，并且很大一部分参与高风险的互联网行为（HRIBS），包括在线接触性明确的内容和从事在线社交行为，这些社交行为可能导致互联网受害。当前的互联网安全计划与父母的监控有关，作为保护青少年的主要手段，但超过40％的青少年用户报告了不需要的性内容，另外20％承认有意寻求在线色情材料。此外，越来越多的父母允许他们的孩子过分报告年龄，以便可以访问社交网站 - 在线社交行为，例如泄露个人身份识别信息和发布性挑衅性的自我描述符等有风险的在线社交行为增加了在线剥削的脆弱性，以及大多数互联网引起的性别危害的地方。现有的互联网安全研究高度批评了青少年自我报告。因此，关于Hribs的大小和影响的客观知识有限，并且具有同等重要性，这可能是最容易受到影响的。我们的研究表明，性虐待的青少年可能特别容易受到HRIBS的影响，因为这些受害者表现出比无虐待的同龄人更倾向于色情消费，挑衅性的在线自我表现，在线性能，离线会议，危险的性行为和性重新维持的倾向。我们的多学科团队将对400名12-15岁的青少年女性进行自然主义研究；最近一半遭受了证实的性虐待。这项研究将是第一个通过（1）通过（1）评估青少年在4周内记录所有URL活动并量化成人和性内容的URL，以及（2）客观地量化在线和实验室中的HRIBS和Vivo的HRIBS。这些程序以及全面的心理社会访谈，将每15个月重复一次，以在随后的2个时间点进行加速的纵向，跨序列设计，从而允许从12-18岁开始在青春期进行交叉滞后和发展建模。总体目标是通过提供客观的HRIBS患病率并阐明其对青少年发展的影响，从而充分向青少年互联网安全运动提供信息。通过专注于高风险的性虐待青少年，并测试包括一系列风险和保护因素的概念模型，发现不仅会增强虐待受害者的治疗模型，而且将向父母和政策制定者提供有关促进青少年互联网安全的最佳方法。这项创新的研究将通过强调对挑衅性自我表现的含义，并推荐保护父母不精通互联网或没有涉及的青少年的方式来填补基于学校的互联网安全计划的重要空白。结果将通过确定有效的，青少年，家庭和上下文变量来减少影响的影响，从而提高二级预防和干预工作 Hribs发生后。
