The purpose of this study was to investigate how Facebook use is leading to negative relationship outcomes such as cheating and breakup by assessing users' perceived relationship qualities. It was hypothesized that Facebook-related conflict will be negatively related with users' relationship length and will also be negatively related with their perceived relationship satisfaction, commitment, and love. Facebook-related conflict further mediates the relationship between relationship length and perceived relationship satisfaction, commitment, and love. Self-report data were gathered from participants (N = 101) in an online survey by employing standard questionnaires. A set of regression and mediation analyses confirmed all the hypotheses of the study. That is, Facebook-related conflict mediates the relationship between relationship length and perceived relationship satisfaction, commitment, and love. Moreover, the magnitude of mediation was highest for relationship satisfaction. Implications for future research and contributions are discussed.
本研究的目的是通过评估用户对恋爱关系的感知质量,调查使用脸书如何导致诸如出轨和分手等负面恋爱关系结果。研究假设,与脸书相关的冲突将与用户的恋爱关系时长呈负相关,也将与他们对恋爱关系的满意度、忠诚度和爱意呈负相关。与脸书相关的冲突进一步在恋爱关系时长与对恋爱关系的满意度、忠诚度和爱意之间起中介作用。通过使用标准问卷,从在线调查的参与者(N = 101)中收集了自我报告数据。一系列回归和中介分析证实了该研究的所有假设。也就是说,与脸书相关的冲突在恋爱关系时长与对恋爱关系的满意度、忠诚度和爱意之间起中介作用。此外,中介作用的强度在恋爱关系满意度方面最高。文中还讨论了对未来研究的启示和贡献。
