Sorry to upset some or some, but according to a new survey, those who post significantly issues for their relations in Facebook they feel "more insecure about their partner's feelings" than others who do not post at all. The research was recently published in the academic journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
A team researchers led by Lydia Emery, a Ph.D. student at Northwestern University, asked 108 straight couples at a small university in Canada. The scientists asked each person in the couples to keep their own daily diary for two weeks, recording how they felt about their relationship, and how they thought the relationship was going each day. They then looked at their public Facebook posts to find out publications related to the couple, status updates and comments photos. The research team noticed an increase in interactions when one or the other of the couple felt that their relationship was not going well.
In recent years, there have been researches examining how romance is thriving in Facebok, perhaps because too many people worry that the social network destroys romance. It is true that Facebok has so much information from each member that data scientists can predict with frightening precision if your relationship is temporary or will evolve over the long term.
But what is the reason that leads people to publish more about their loved ones when they feel that things are wrong? To validate themselves in front of their friends? To remind their partner that they exist? To cause regret? To cause memories?
Whatever the reason, it is good to know that: The solution does not exist in Facebok.
