Abstract

Technology use within relationships has been shown to produce potential rewards and costs that influence relationship development and/or sustainment; however, the negative influence of modern technology (i.e., smartphone, computer, tablet, and/or television) use in romantic relationships during quality time spent together (i.e., technoference) remains an understudied area. Even less is known about the effects of technoference on young adult couples’ relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction. The current study utilized a descriptive correlational survey design with 158 young adult couples. We used actor-partner interdependence modeling to test the dyadic associations between technoference and relationship and sexual satisfaction among the young adult couple sample. Results indicated statistically significant negative actor effects between technoference and relationship and sexual satisfaction and statistically significant negative partner effects between technoference and relationship satisfaction.

摘要

关系中的技术使用已被证明会产生影响关系发展和/或维持的潜在回报和成本；然而，现代技术（即智能手机、计算机、平板电脑和/或电视）在共度美好时光（即技术交流）期间对浪漫关系的负面影响仍然是一个未被充分研究的领域。对技术咨询对年轻成年夫妇的关系满意度和性满意度的影响知之甚少。当前的研究对 158 对年轻的成年夫妇使用了描述性相关调查设计。我们使用演员-伴侣相互依赖模型来测试年轻成人夫妇样本中技术认知与关系和性满意度之间的二元关联。
