Abstract: |
Using data from the American Second Youth Internet Safety Survey, a national telephone survey conducted in 2005, this study aimed to examine the relationship between the use of preventive software on home computers and unwanted exposure to sexual material online. The results showed that unwanted exposure to sexual material occurred in 32% of young people in homes with pop-up/spam blockers and 25% of young people in homes with filtering, blocking, or monitoring software, compared to 43% of households without preventive software installed on a home computer. The authors conclude that the findings suggest that caregivers of boys and girls aged 15 years and younger who want to reduce the likelihood of unwanted exposure to sexual material should consider including preventive software, especially filtering, blocking, or monitoring software, in their Internet safety plan. |
