Many studies document how individuals use Facebook to meet partners or develop and maintain relationships. Less is known about information-seeking behaviors during the stages of relationship termination. Relational dissolution is a socially embedded activity, and affordances of social network sites offer many advantages in reducing uncertainty after a breakup. A survey collected responses from 110 individuals who use Facebook to gather information about their romantic ex-partners. Results indicated that after breakup, partners may take advantage of the system's information visibility and the relative invisibility of movement depending on relational factors (initiator role and breakup uncertainty), social factors (perceived network approval of Facebook surveillance), and individual privacy concerns. This investigation addresses questions such as what type of information-seeking foci do individuals employ and how do individuals use Facebook as a form of surveillance? What factors motivate surveillance behavior?
许多研究记录了个人如何使用 Facebook 来寻找伴侣或发展和维持关系。但对于关系终止阶段的信息搜索行为却知之甚少。关系解体是一种社会嵌入的活动，社交网络的功能在减少分手后的不确定性方面具有许多优势。一项调查从 110 名使用 Facebook 收集其浪漫前任伴侣信息的个人那里收集了回复。结果表明，分手后，伴侣可能会利用系统的信息可见性和移动的相对不可见性，这取决于关系因素（发起者角色和分手不确定性）、社会因素（感知网络对 Facebook 监控的认可）和个人隐私问题。这项研究探讨了一些问题，例如个人采用什么样的信息搜索焦点，以及个人如何将 Facebook 用作监控形式？是什么因素促使人们进行监控行为？
