According to the triangular love theory, this study investigated the roles of three components of love (i.e., passion, intimacy, commitment) and the moderating role of conflicts in predicting different forms of sexting (i.e., experimental, nonconsensual, under pressure) in teen dating relationships. Participants were 409 adolescents (M_age = 17.20, SD_age = 1.61; 62.6% girls) who completed an online questionnaire. Three moderated regressions were performed. Conflicts positively predicted all forms of sexting. Passion positively predicted experimental sexting. Intimacy negatively predicted experimental and nonconsensual sexting, and positively predicted sexting under pressure. Three interaction effects emerged, pointing out the moderating role of conflicts. Passion positively predicted nonconsensual sexting in the presence of high conflicts, while this relationship became negative when conflicts were low. Commitment negatively predicted nonconsensual sexting and sexting under pressure in the presence of high conflicts, but these relationships were not significant when conflicts were low. Research and applicative implications are discussed.

青少年约会关系中的爱和色情模式：冲突的调节作用

根据三角爱理论，本研究调查了爱的三个组成部分（即激情、亲密、承诺）的作用以及冲突在预测青少年不同形式的性交（即实验性、非自愿性、压力下）中的调节作用。约会关系。参与者是 409 名青少年（M_年龄= 17.20，SD_年龄= 1.61; 62.6% 的女孩）完成了在线问卷调查。进行了三个缓和的回归。冲突积极预测所有形式的色情短信。激情积极预测实验性短信。亲密关系负面预测实验性和非自愿性短信，并积极预测压力下的短信。出现了三种交互作用，指出了冲突的调节作用。激情正向预测在高冲突存在下的非自愿性短信，而当冲突低时，这种关系变得消极。在高度冲突的情况下，承诺会负面预测非自愿性短信和压力下的短信，但当冲突较低时，这些关系并不显着。讨论了研究和应用意义。
