Research Spotlight
In their study, "Why do people share social networking site passwords with their romantic partners? The antecedents and explanations for social networking site password sharing in romantic relationships," Dr. Megan Vendemia and Dr. Jennifer Bevan examined reasons why individuals shared their social networking site passwords with their romantic partners and how these reasons relate to relationship quality and online jealousy. U.S. adults currently or recently in romantic relationships (N = 948) completed an online survey assessing relationship characteristics and reasons for password sharing. The study found that relationship satisfaction, relationship length, and online jealousy predicted whether or not participants shared their passwords.
