Edited Abstract:
Anecdotal evidence, including information described in the popular media, suggests that Facebook may be responsible for creating jealousy and suspicion in romantic relationships. The objectives of the present study were to explore the role of Facebook in the experience of jealousy and to determine if increased Facebook exposure predicts jealousy above and beyond personal and relationship factors.
Three hundred eight undergraduate students completed an online survey that assessed demographic and personality factors and explored respondents’ Facebook use. Our study provides evidence of Facebook’s unique contributions to the experience of jealousy in romantic relationships.
Topics covered include:
• Internet addiction
• Internet in the workplace
• Internet gambling
• Internet advertising and buying habits
• Virtual Reality rehabilitation
• Insight into the minds of hackers
