The present study aimed to examine differences in three psychological constructs (satisfaction with life, loneliness, and helplessness) among adults experiencing ghosting and breadcrumbing. A sample of 626 adults (303 males and 323 females), aged from 18 to 40 years, completed an online survey asking to indicate whether someone they considered a dating partner had ghosted or breadcrumbed them in the last year and to complete three different scales regarding satisfaction with life, loneliness, and helplessness. The results showed than those participants who had indicated experiencing breadcrumbing or the combined forms (both breadcrumbing and ghosting) reported less satisfaction with life, and more helplessness and self-perceived loneliness. The results from the regression models showed that suffering breadcrumbing would significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing less satisfaction with life, and of having more feelings of loneliness and helplessness. However, no significant relation was found between ghosting and any of the examined psychological correlates.
本研究旨在探讨经历“被放鸽子”和“发饼渣”的成年人在三种心理结构（生活满意度、孤独感和无助感）方面的差异。该研究样本由 626 名年龄在 18 至 40 岁之间的成年人（303 名男性和 323 名女性）组成，他们完成了一项在线调查，要求他们表明在过去一年中是否有人被视为约会对象“被放鸽子”或“发饼渣”，并完成关于生活满意度、孤独感和无助感的三个不同量表。结果表明，那些表示经历过“发饼渣”或两者结合形式（“发饼渣”和“被放鸽子”）的参与者报告的生活满意度较低，无助感和自我感知的孤独感较强。回归模型的结果表明，经历“发饼渣”会显著增加生活满意度降低、孤独感和无助感增强的可能性。然而，“被放鸽子”与任何被研究的心理相关性之间都没有发现显著关系。
