The COVID-19 pandemic poses unique threats to romantic relationships as couples were issued to stay at home by a mandatory order, limiting social interactions with others. Although technology allows for social interactions, the privacy of interactions through technology may be compromised. Electronic intrusion (EI) occurs when individuals covertly gain access of their partner's mobile device to go through content (e.g., text messages, private messages on social media sites), and previous study indicates serious consequences of EI, including increased rates of intimate partner violence, depressive symptoms, and heavy episodic drinking. This study examines jealousy, relationship uncertainty (RU), and EI in a sample of American adults. We hypothesized that jealousy would be related to greater acts of EI, and that this association will be mediated by RU. Data were collected from 754 Qualtrics Panels participants (50 percent male) with an average age of 41.7 years. Most participants (85.7 percent) were married. Results supported hypotheses, demonstrating that jealousy was associated with more EI, and this was due to uncertainty about the relationship's future. This study illuminates a need to study cyberdating abuse (CDA) in older and married populations. Future research should consider the effects of other relationship-specific emotions and cognitions on EI and further develop strategies aimed at reducing risks for CDA in romantic relationships.

COVID-19 期间已婚和同居伴侣关系不确定性介导的嫉妒和电子入侵

COVID-19 大流行对浪漫关系构成了独特的威胁,因为强制性命令要求夫妻呆在家里,限制了与他人的社交互动。尽管技术允许社交互动,但通过技术进行互动的隐私可能会受到损害。当个人秘密访问其伴侣的移动设备以浏览内容(例如,短信、社交媒体网站上的私人消息)时,就会发生电子入侵 (EI),并且之前的研究表明 EI 的严重后果,包括亲密伴侣暴力的发生率增加、抑郁症状和大量间歇性饮酒。本研究调查了美国成年人样本中的嫉妒、关系不确定性 (RU) 和 EI。我们假设嫉妒与更大的 EI 行为有关,并且这种关联将由 RU 调解。数据来自 754 名 Qualtrics Panels 参与者(50% 为男性),平均年龄为 41.7 岁。大多数参与者(85.7%)已婚。结果支持了假设,表明嫉妒与更多的情商有关,这是由于对关系未来的不确定性。这项研究阐明了在老年人和已婚人群中研究网络约会滥用 (CDA) 的必要性。未来的研究应考虑其他特定关系的情绪和认知对 EI 的影响,并进一步制定旨在降低浪漫关系中 CDA 风险的策略。证明嫉妒与更多的情商有关,这是由于对关系未来的不确定性。这项研究阐明了在老年人和已婚人群中研究网络约会滥用 (CDA) 的必要性。未来的研究应考虑其他特定关系的情绪和认知对 EI 的影响,并进一步制定旨在降低浪漫关系中 CDA 风险的策略。证明嫉妒与更多的情商有关,这是由于对关系未来的不确定性。这项研究阐明了在老年人和已婚人群中研究网络约会滥用 (CDA) 的必要性。未来的研究应考虑其他特定关系的情绪和认知对 EI 的影响,并进一步制定旨在降低浪漫关系中 CDA 风险的策略。
