Abstract

To what extent do female high school and college students differ in perceptions of the appropriateness of texting behaviors? In our study of young women from the southwestern United States, high school students sent and received more messages. They also deemed it more appropriate to send text messages relevant to dating relationships, and more appropriate to communicate during school class and during religious services, as compared to the female college students. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
