Abstract

ABSTRACT Technology as a communication medium now functions as a core way to connect to peers, family members, and romantic partners independent of time and location. These technologies help us to initiate relationships and maintain them, but also can introduce complications such as connection to others outside of our relationships and take time away from relationships. The purpose of this study was to test a model proposing a moderating effect of nationality on the link between technology in relationships and satisfaction. In a cross-sectional study of 658 American and 503 Austrian adults (n = 1161), participants who were in a committed relationship for at least 6 months completed a survey assessing their use of technology, how their use of technology affected their relationships, their nationality, and their relationship satisfaction. Results indicated a significant effect for nationality on couple satisfaction. Implications for cultural understandings of technology in relationships and their effect on couple satisfaction include the therapist developing an understanding of each person’s future around technology use and to inform their assessment around how each member’s use of technology supports or detracts from relationship satisfaction.

关系与满意度中的技术:国籍的调节作用
技术作为一种沟通媒介,现在是与同龄人、家庭成员和浪漫伴侣联系的核心方式,与时间和地点无关。这些技术帮助我们建立和维持关系,但也会带来一些复杂的问题,比如与我们关系之外的其他人建立联系,并占用我们关系的时间。本研究的目的是检验一个模型,该模型提出国籍对关系中的技术与满意度之间的联系有调节作用。在一项对658名美国成年人和503名奥地利成年人(n = 1161)的横断面研究中,处于稳定关系中至少6个月的参与者完成了一项调查,评估他们对科技的使用,他们对科技的使用如何影响他们的关系,他们的国籍和他们的关系满意度。结果显示,国籍对夫妻满意度有显著影响。对关系中技术的文化理解及其对夫妻满意度的影响的含义包括治疗师发展对每个人在技术使用方面的未来的理解,并告知他们对每个成员使用技术如何支持或减少关系满意度的评估。
