  • facebook and romantic relationships Intimacy and couple satisfaction associated with online social network use
    Cyberpsychology Behavior and Social Networking, 2013
    Co-Authors: Matthew M Hand, Donna Thomas, Walter C Buboltz, Eric D Deemer, Munkhsanaa Buyanjargal
    Abstract:

    Abstract Online social networks, such as Facebook, have gained immense popularity and potentially affect the way people build and maintain interpersonal relationships. The present study sought to examine time spent on online social networks, as it relates to Intimacy and relationship satisfaction experienced in romantic relationships. Results did not find relationships between an individual's usage of online social networks and his/her perception of relationship satisfaction and Intimacy. However, the study found a negative relationship between Intimacy and the perception of a romantic partner's use of online social networks. This finding may allude to an attributional bias in which individuals are more likely to perceive a partner's usage as negative compared to their own usage. Additionally, it was found that Intimacy mediates the relationship between online social network usage and overall relationship satisfaction, which suggests that the level of Intimacy experienced in a relationship may serve as a ...

  • The interpersonal process model of Intimacy in marriage: a daily-diary and multilevel modeling approach.
    Journal of Family Psychology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Jean-philippe Laurenceau, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Michael J. Rovine
    Abstract:

    This study used daily reports of interactions in marriage to examine predictions from the conceptualization of Intimacy as the outcome of an interpersonal process. Both partners of 96 married couples completed daily diaries assessing self-disclosure, partner disclosure, perceived partner responsiveness, and Intimacy on each of 42 consecutive days. Multivariate multilevel modeling revealed that self-disclosure and partner disclosure both significantly and uniquely contributed to the contemporaneous prediction of Intimacy. Perceived partner responsiveness partially mediated the effects of self-disclosure and partner disclosure on Intimacy. Global marital satisfaction, relationship Intimacy, and demand-withdraw communication were related to daily levels of Intimacy. Implications for the importance of perceived partner responsiveness in the Intimacy process for married partners are discussed.

  • Intimacy as an interpersonal process the importance of self disclosure partner disclosure and perceived partner responsiveness in interpersonal exchanges
    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Jean-philippe Laurenceau, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Paula R Pietromonaco
    Abstract:

    : H. T. Reis and P. Shaver's (1988) interpersonal process model of Intimacy suggests that both self-disclosure and partner responsiveness contribute to the experience of Intimacy in interactions. Two studies tested this model using an event-contingent diary methodology in which participants provided information immediately after their social interactions over 1 (Study 1) or 2 (Study 2) weeks. For each interaction, participants reported on their self-disclosures, partner disclosures, perceived partner responsiveness, and degree of Intimacy experienced in the interaction. Overall, the findings strongly supported the conceptualization of Intimacy as a combination of self-disclosure and partner disclosure at the level of individual interactions with partner responsiveness as a partial mediator in this process. Additionally, in Study 2, self-disclosure of emotion emerged as a more important predictor of Intimacy than did self-disclosure of facts and information.

  • anonymity Intimacy and self disclosure in social media
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
    Co-Authors: Jeffrey T Hancock, Mor Naaman
    Abstract:

    Self-disclosure is rewarding and provides significant benefits for individuals, but it also involves risks, especially in social media settings. We conducted an online experiment to study the relationship between content Intimacy and willingness to self-disclose in social media, and how identification (real name vs. anonymous) and audience type (social ties vs. people nearby) moderate that relationship. Content Intimacy is known to regulate self-disclosure in face-to-face communication: people self-disclose less as content Intimacy increases. We show that such regulation persists in online social media settings. Further, although anonymity and an audience of social ties are both known to increase self-disclosure, it is unclear whether they (1) increase self-disclosure baseline for content of all Intimacy levels, or (2) weaken Intimacy's regulation effect, making people more willing to disclose intimate content. We show that Intimacy always regulates self-disclosure, regardless of settings. We also show that anonymity mainly increases self-disclosure baseline and (sometimes) weakens the regulation. On the other hand, an audience of social ties increases the baseline but strengthens the regulation. Finally, we demonstrate that anonymity has a more salient effect on content of negative valence.The results are critical to understanding the dynamics and opportunities of self-disclosure in social media services that vary levels of identification and types of audience.
