Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the impact of new media on Algerian youth's understanding of personal beliefs and sexual values. It provides detailed and comprehensive results analyzing how young people interact with new media and the way it influences the formation of their sexual beliefs. The results show significant variation in responses, highlighting that the effects of new media are not uniform across the youth population. Through in-depth analysis based on the assumptions of the UVT (Unconscious Value Transition) theoretical framework, the study arrives at a deeper understanding of the formation of youth's sexual beliefs in light of their engagement with influential figures and content through new media. The study concludes by emphasizing the significance and ability of the UVT theoretical proposal to explain the nature of value transitions among youth.
