Financial transactions play a critical role in people’s interpersonal relationships since money is a sensitive and complex component of everyday life. In particular, emerging digital peer-to-peer (P2P) payment applications further complicate how people deal with each other regarding money. Yet, there is a lack of empirical evidence on how and why such technology may lead to new and more complex influences on people’s offline interpersonal relationships. Using 23 in-depth interviews, this paper explores the influences of using digital P2P payments on people’s experiences of interpersonal financial exchanges and their offline interpersonal relationships. Our findings show that using digital P2P payments helps reduce awkwardness and ensure a stronger sense of fairness in financial exchanges. In addition, though digital P2P payments can relieve tension and reduce distrust in users’ interpersonal relationships, they also result in loss of emotion and increase peer pressure. We extend existing studies on computer-mediated interpersonal relationships by highlighting the important role of the complicated technology-mediated financial exchanges in perceiving, shaping, and approaching today’s offline interpersonal relationships. We also propose potential design implications for designers and developers to take such an interplay of financial exchanges and interpersonal relationships into consideration to design more supportive and socially satisfactory digital P2P payment platforms in the future.

金融交易与线下人际关系通过数字点对点支付的相互作用

金融交易在人们的人际关系中起着至关重要的作用,因为金钱是日常生活中敏感而复杂的组成部分。特别是,新兴的数字点对点 (P2P) 支付应用程序进一步复杂化了人们在金钱方面的交易方式。然而,缺乏关于此类技术如何以及为何会对人们的线下人际关系产生新的和更复杂的影响的经验证据。通过23个深度访谈,本文探讨了使用数字P2P支付对人们人际金融交流体验和线下人际关系的影响。我们的研究结果表明,使用数字 P2P 支付有助于减少尴尬并确保金融交易中更强的公平感。此外,数字P2P支付虽然可以缓解用户对人际关系的紧张感和不信任感,但也会导致情绪失落,增加同伴压力。我们通过强调复杂的技术介导的金融交流在感知、塑造和处理当今离线人际关系方面的重要作用,扩展了对计算机介导的人际关系的现有研究。我们还为设计师和开发商提出了潜在的设计启示,以考虑金融交流和人际关系的这种相互作用,以在未来设计出更具支持性和社会满意度的数字 P2P 支付平台。我们通过强调复杂的技术介导的金融交流在感知、塑造和处理当今离线人际关系方面的重要作用,扩展了对计算机介导的人际关系的现有研究。我们还为设计师和开发商提出了潜在的设计启示,以考虑金融交流和人际关系的这种相互作用,以在未来设计出更具支持性和社会满意度的数字 P2P 支付平台。我们通过强调复杂的技术介导的金融交流在感知、塑造和处理当今离线人际关系方面的重要作用,扩展了对计算机介导的人际关系的现有研究。我们还为设计师和开发商提出了潜在的设计启示,以考虑金融交流和人际关系的这种相互作用,以在未来设计出更具支持性和社会满意度的数字 P2P 支付平台。
