Social networking sites (SNS) play an increasingly important role in maintaining geographically close romantic relationships (GCRR). However, knowledge about SNS use in long-distance romantic relationships (LDRR) is still lacking. The present study examined the relative importance of SNS in maintaining LDRR compared to GCRR, particularly with regard to the use of SNS to express involvement (via relational maintenance behaviors) and to gauge a partner's involvement (via partner surveillance and jealousy) in the relationship. An online survey was conducted among predominantly young adult Facebook users who were in a romantic relationship (N=272). Results showed that participants who were in a LDRR reported higher levels of relational maintenance behaviors through SNS than participants who were in a GCRR. Also, as compared to participants who were in a GCRR, participants who were in a LDRR used SNS more for partner surveillance and experienced higher levels of SNS jealousy.
社交网站（SNS）在维持异地恋（LDR）中起着越来越重要的作用。然而，关于 SNS 在维持异地恋中的使用的知识仍然缺乏。本研究考察了 SNS 在维持 LDR 中的相对重要性，与维持 GCR 相比，特别是 SNS 在表达投入（通过关系维护行为）和衡量伴侣在关系中的投入（通过伴侣监控和嫉妒）方面的作用。本研究在主要为年轻成年 Facebook 用户中进行了一项在线调查，这些用户正在经历一段浪漫关系（N=272）。结果表明，与处于 GCR 中的参与者相比，处于 LDR 中的参与者通过 SNS 报告了更高水平的关系维护行为。此外，与处于 GCR 中的参与者相比，处于 LDR 中的参与者更多地使用 SNS 进行伴侣监控，并经历了更高水平的 SNS 嫉妒。
