SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Abstract

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

In this study, the researchers were interested in the topic of smartphones and the effect
the devices have on romantic relationships. Smartphones are interlaced into college students
everyday lives, and one would assume that this connectivity impacts their romantic relationships.
The researchers were specifically interested in how smartphone usage accelerates the
development of romantic relationships. So, the researchers developed a research question
asking, Which features of the smartphone accelerate the development of romantic
relationships? To search for evidence to answer this question, the researchers developed a
questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 141 students at a small, liberal arts college in
the Midwest.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Introduction

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

In this study a group of researchers sought to find out how the applications on a
smartphone accelerate the development of romantic relationships. According the English Oxford
Living Dictionaries, a smartphone is, a mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a
computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, Internet access, and an operating system
capable of running downloaded apps (para. 1). Smartphone popularity began in 2007 after
Apple released their first iPhone, (Trowbridge, 2014). Google unveiled their Android just a year
later, (Trowbridge, 2014). With this new form of technology that allows people to communicate
more often than ever before, communication within romantic relationships must be studied
further. One can text, voice call, and video call on a smartphone. One can also download
applications to connect and communicate further. In this particular study, the applications that
the researchers focused on studying were Facebook and Snapchat, along with text messaging,
phone calling, and video calling. The purpose of this study was to find out what applications of
the smartphone accelerate the development of romantic relationships among college students at a
small, liberal arts college in the Midwest.
This topic merits research because the way people have communicated in romantic
relationships has changed over time. The way people begin relationships has also changed over
time. The invention of the smartphone and the applications one can use on it further complicated
how one can understand communication within a relationship and the beginning stages of that
relationship. This group of social scientists conducted research by distributing a questionnaire to
141 students. These researchers asked questions that aimed to find out how the applications on a
smartphone were used in the developmental stages of ones own romantic relationship. In order
to obtain a better understanding of modern communication within romantic relationships, the
researchers developed a research question: Which features of the smartphone accelerate the

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

development of romantic relationships? The researchers hypothesized: Smartphones accelerate


the development of romantic relationships.

Literature Review

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Communication within romantic relationships is a topic that has been studied over and
over again by social scientists. The topic has only been made more complicated by the creation
of the cell phone. The first cell phone call was placed in 1973 by Cooper, then an employee of
Motorola, (Trowbridge, 2014). Ten years later, the first commercial cell phone was sold in
stores: the Motorola DynaTAC, which weighed 30 ounces, (Trowbridge, 2014). Throughout the
1990s, the cell phone continued to change and grow in popularity. In 1992, the first text message
was sent and received, and the first cell phone with a built-in camera was released in the year
2000 in Japan, (Trowbridge, 2014). While the device itself was changing and becoming more
sophisticated, so was the infrastructure. Networks grew from 1G, to 2G, to 3G, (Trowbridge,
2014). Then, in 2007, Apple released the first iPhone, and Google soon followed, unveiling their
Android just a year later, (Trowbridge, 2014). With the release of these devices, the age of
smartphones began. According the English Oxford Living Dictionaries, a smartphone is, a
mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen
interface, Internet access, and an operating system capable of running downloaded apps (para.
1).
Smartphones are now interlaced with young adults everyday lives that face-to-face
interaction seems barely relevant to the under 35 cohort of today, (Pettegrew & Day, 2015). The
capabilities of smartphones are wide ranging. The customizability, usability, and integration of
smartphones has had a huge effect on human communication. More than any other technology,
smartphones are at the forefront of technological convergence. Combining features of traditional
mobile phones, personal computers, and the web, smartphones hybridize not only technologies
and platforms but also user's own practices, habits, and modes of accessing media with
implications for personal communication, (Madianou, 2014).

Since the release of the smartphone, social scientists have explored how this device
changes the dynamics and development of romantic relationships. One can understand how
relationships are developed through Knapps (1978) relational development theory. It states that
relationships begin by coming together, which happens in five stages: initiating, experimenting,
intensifying, integrating, and bonding, (Knapp, 1978). Couples then engage in relational
maintenance before coming apart, which also happens in five stages: differentiating,
circumscribing, stagnating, avoiding, and, lastly, terminating, (Knapp, 1978). Examining a
wide-range of studies, one can see how smartphones have changed the way in which
relationships are developed, maintained, and fall apart. To explore the different ways in which
smartphones have effected relationships, its easiest to talk about separate features of a
smartphone. These include voice calling and text messaging, and applications such as Facebook,
Tinder, and Snapchat.
Voice Calls and Text Messaging
Smartphones have so many features and applications that its easy to forget about basic
voice calling and text messaging. However, these features on smartphones continue to impact
romantic relationships. For example, Jin and Pea (2008) found that a higher amount of mobile
communication between partners is closely related to positive outcomes in their relationship, (p.
2). In this study, students in introductory communication courses at a large, Southwestern
University received extra credit for their participation in an online survey, (Jin & Pea, 2008).
Although anyone could participate in the study, researchers only used data from those who were
currently involved in a romantic relationship, (Jin & Pea, 2008). Participants were asked to
estimate the amount of time they spent calling their partners in a day, the frequency of phone
calls, intimacy in the relationship, and relational uncertainty, (Jin & Pea, 2008). Results proved

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

11

that mobile phone use can improve positive aspects of romantic relationships, (Jin & Pea,
2008). Call time was significantly, negatively related to relational uncertainty, meaning that the
more participants placed voice calls with their partner, the less they felt uncertain about their
relationship, (Jin & Pea, 2008, p.12). Frequent and longer phone calls resulted in greater
relational intimacy, (Jin & Pea, 2008). The researchers inferred that more frequent mobile
communication helps couples coordinate their daily activities, which may lead to increased
feelings of closeness and intimacy, (Jin & Pea, 2008, p. 14). Lastly, this study found that
personalities factor into how much one uses cell phones to communicate with a romantic partner.
For example, participants using a lower number of voice calls within their dating relationships
reported higher tendency of avoidance, (Jin & Pea, 2008, p. 14). The researchers explained this
phenomena as that these people may feel uneasy being reachable at any time by their partner,
and, therefore, do not take advantage of cell phones, (Jin & Pea, 2008).
Other studies have found that relationships can be negatively impacted by the use of cell
phones. A study by Duran, Kelly, and Rotaru (2011) investigated the affect cell phones have on
perceptions of autonomy and connection within romantic relationships of college students, (p.
19). Two hundred and ten undergraduate students from a small, private, eastern comprehensive
university participated in the study, answering questions about their relationship type, describing
communication with their significant other, and how many times a day they initiated contact with
their partner by calling or texting, (Duran, et al., 2011). Upon examination of data, the
researchers concluded that participants who were dissatisfied with cell phone usage in their
relationship were more likely to be dissatisfied with time spent with their partner, (Duran, et al.,
2011, p. 29). Participants also reported feeling that their freedom was restricted by their
significant other because of how much that person expected cell phone usage, (Duran, et al.,

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

12

2011). In these instances, conflict arises when one partner feels that their freedom is being
restricted by the other. These results also suggest that those who are less satisfied with cell
phone use in their relationship and those who have more expectations that the other be available
for contact were more likely to report being controlling of their partner, (Duran, et al., 2011, p.
29).
This study by Duran, et al. (2011) also reveals how cell phones can cause conflict to arise
in relationships. The most frequent topics of cell phone conflict were not answering calls or
texts, not calling or texting enough, calling or texting too much, not returning calls or texts, and
receiving calls or texts from members of the opposite sex, (Duran, et al., 2011). The majority of
conflicts centered around too much or not enough calling or texting, as well as, timing of calls
and texts, which is indicative of autonomy issues, (Duran, et al., 2011).
All of this research reveals that cell phones are very important as a means of
communicating within a romantic relationship, (Miller-Ott, Kelly, & Duran, 2012).
Furthermore, satisfaction with cell phone usage within relationships is positively and strongly
associated with relational satisfaction, (Miller-Ott, et al., 2012). Two hundred and twenty seven
undergraduate students from a small, private Eastern comprehensive university confirm these
claims. In a study, these participants reported being happier with the use of cell phones in their
relationships if they reported having rules about not discussing interpersonal issues or fighting
over the phone, (Miller-Ott, et al., 2012, p. 29). This suggests that couples might prefer face-toface interaction when serious matters need to be discussed.
In this same study, the researchers found that participants were more satisfied if they did
not have calling or texting rules established for one another, (Miller-Ott, et al., 2012). These
rules could include how often one is able to call the other, how many texts can be sent in a row

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

13

without a response, and expectations to pick up the phone. These findings suggest that partners
are more satisfied if they can be in constant communication with one another, with no rules
restricting communication, (Miller-Ott, et al., 2012). Furthermore, the researchers reason that
couples may not have cell phone rules set for each other because they already have their phones
on their person all the time anyways, (Miller-Ott, et al., 2012). People generally expect that
everyone has their phones on their person at all times, so couples may reason that there is no
cause to have rules if they should always have their phone with them. In addition to this,
participants reported they were more satisfied if they did not have rules prohibiting them from
checking one anothers call and text logs, (Miller-Ott, et al., 2012, p. 30). This study as a whole
shows that couples have become more comfortable with being in constant contact with one
another and that having rules for calling and texting are not necessary.
For the purpose of the researchers study, instant text messaging includes short message
service (SMS), Apple iMessaging, and other Internet connected platforms which have a text
service. Instant text messaging and other forms of digital text communication may lead to
positive relational outcomes, (McEwan & Horn, 2016). Studies show that instant text messaging
can maintain a constant sense of presence between romantic partners, (Pettegrew, 2009) by
exchanging romantic messages (Ling, 2008) and coordinating daily schedules and future
interactions (Ling, 2008; & Ling & Donner, 2009). According to McEwan and Horn (2016), not
all relational communication necessarily has positive effects on romantic relationships.
Messages regarding relational development and maintenance are more likely to garner positive
outcomes in the relationship as a whole, (McEwan & Horn, 2016).
The continual presence of mobile devices, specifically smartphones, allows for all-day
communication within romantic relationships, (Duran, et al., 2011). A study by McEwan and

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

14

Horn (2016) concluded that instant text messaging, especially ones positively discussing
relational development and maintenance, plays a vital role in the quality, longevity, and
satisfaction of romantic relationships. McEwan and Horn surveyed 340 members of an
undergraduate research class at a comprehensive Midwestern University. They were asked to
participate in a study about instant text messaging in romantic relationships, (McEwan & Horn,
2016).
The results of the study done by McEwan and Horn (2016) suggest dating partners do use
instant text messaging to maintain and further develop their romantic relationships. When
instant text messages are exchanged regarding the maintenance of a romantic relationship, it
seems to leave a positive effect on the relationship as well as increase an individuals proclivity
to use text messaging, (McEwan & Horn, 2016). However, the results also suggest that when
instant text messaging is used in a manner not pertaining to relational maintenance, it results in
an individuals negative disposition towards instant text messaging within a romantic
relationship, (McEwan & Horn, 2016).
Another study finds that the frequency of instant text messages sent has a significant
influence on the development of romantic relationships. A study conducted by Walther (1996)
surveyed university undergraduates and their use and perceptions on instant text messaging
within romantic relationships. In fact, this study suggests that the use of instant text messaging
within romantic relationships can replace the perceived intimacy of face-to-face interactions,
(Walther, 1996).
When users have enough time to exchange cues and provide and receive social
information, computer-mediated-communication can be as intimate as face-to-face interaction assuming the content of the messages promote intimacy, (Walther, 1996). Although cellular text

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

15

messaging restricts the number of cues available in a single message, the culmination of many,
perhaps hundreds, of messages can clearly convey relational information, (Brody, et al., 2009).
Text messaging creates a sense of intimacy not found elsewhere in other forms of digital
communication. One study has shown that people regard those they text often (on a daily basis)
to be in closer relationships with them as opposed to other forms of digital communication, such
as email, (Morey, Gentzler, Creasy, Oberhauser, & Westerman, 2011). This study done by
Morey, et al. (2011) found that the frequency of text messaging often suggests there is a strong
attachment among those in a romantic relationship. According to Morey, et al. (2011), there is
support for the prediction that individuals who perceive their relationship more positively also
report more frequent communication.
While the use of instant text messaging may suggest more positive outcomes of romantic
relationships, especially in the beginning stages, it can also inhibit verbal communication among
romantic couples further and more effectively than face-to-face interaction, (Knobloch and
Solomon, 2002). According to Knobloch and Solomon (2002), relational uncertainty, which is,
the degree of confidence people have in their perceptions of involvement within interpersonal
relationships, (p. 45) is a fundamental component of close relationships that shapes
communicative behaviors between partners, (p. 45). Verbal communication and the capacity it
has in a relationship plays a large role in the relational uncertainty felt by individuals engaged in
romantic relationships.
Instant text messaging and the preference most new romantic couples have with it has
been found to reduce relational uncertainty among romantic couples. According to Jin and Pea
(2010), there is evidence that message exchanges over time allow people to reduce uncertainty
about partners in computer-mediated settings as successfully as they do in face-to-face contexts.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

16

Considering this, mobile phone use between partners should be related to their relational
uncertainty. Since increased verbal communication between partners tends to reduce relational
uncertainty, more mobile communication should be associated with less relational uncertainty,
(p. 41).
Much like how relational uncertainty plays a role in instant text messaging
communication among romantic couples, so does an individuals own attachment style and
personality, (Jin & Pea, 2010). One study shows that individuals with different attachment
styles communicate differently in close relationships, (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991). For
instance, avoidant or anxious individuals are less likely to engage in self-disclosure (Grabill &
Kerns, 2000) and supportive communication (Mikulicner, Florian & Weller, 1993), as compared
with less avoidant and less anxious individuals.
One study has shown that individuals who have a higher avoidance level tend to rely less
on mobile phone usage, specifically voice calls, within romantic relationships, (Jin & Pea,
2010). Interestingly, while the usage of mobile phones for the purpose of voice calls is lower in
those with high avoidance tendencies, the use of mobile phones for the purpose of text
messaging was higher. Jin and Pea (2010) further suggested that participants who have higher
avoidance tendencies believed that using instant text messaging was a less awkward form of
communication.
While text messaging and voice calls may still have a hand in the development of
romantic relationships, other smartphone capabilities and features have an impact as well.
Smartphones, with the capability to connect to the Internet, have influenced the speed of
communication between individuals greatly within the last decade. Applications such as

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

17

Facebook, Tinder, and Snapchat are having an increasingly important effect in beginning stages
of romantic relationships.
Facebook
People use applications on a smartphone to communicate and/or connect. These
applications, or apps, include text messaging, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Vine, or
even a dating app called Tinder. While there are many different apps one can use to
communicate, 97% of young adults ages ranging from 18-29 use text messaging as their main
form of communication, (Duggan & Rainie, 2012). Following text messaging, various forms of
social media are utilized, the most popular is Facebook, (Duggan, 2015).
Fully 72% of online American adults use Facebook, a proportion unchanged from
September 2014. Usage continues to be especially popular among online women, 77% of whom
are users. In addition, 82% of online adults ages 18 to 29 use Facebook, along with 79% of those
ages 30 to 49, 64% of those ages 50 to 64 and 48% of those 65 and older, (Duggan, 2015, p. 3).
Facebook is a for profit corporation launched by Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz,
Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, and Chris Hughes on February 4, 2004, (Facebook, 2016).
Facebooks mission statement reads as follows:
Founded in 2004, Facebooks mission is to give people the power to share and make the
world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and
family, to discover whats going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to
them, (Facebook-About, 2016).
Facebooks main features consist of an About Me section, a Status Update box, and a
Friends, News Feed, and Wall button, (Fox, Warber, & Makstaller, 2012, p. 4). Facebook

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

18

provides an instant messaging service, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 4), making it even easier to have
conversations with family, friends, and complete strangers online.
Once a person has access to a targets Facebook page, he or she has access to a breadth of
information about that individual: Education, religious and political affiliations, interests,
activities, group memberships, friends, and usually a considerable amount of photographs, (Fox,
et al., 2012, p. 5).
Thanks to this, Facebook and other social media have the potential to influence the
course of romantic relationship formation, maintenance, and deterioration, (Fox, et al., 2012, p.
4). With the breadth and occasional depth of information available on SNSs, it is possible to
learn a lot about another person without actually interacting with him or her, thus violating the
norms of appropriate rate of disclosure early in a relationship, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 6).
Young adults today have thus created a new form of romantic relationship certainty:
making their relationship Facebook Official, or FBO, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 2). Once you
specifically identify the person with whom you are in a relationship with, this information is
viewable to the public and spreads much faster than say, word of mouth, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 6).
This study drafted by Fox, et al. (2012), examined the implications of social networking websites
(SNSs) on romantic relationships, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 1). Specifically, Knapps (1978) stage
model of relationship is examined through a new lens wherein the role of SNSs, specifically
Facebook, is explored in the escalation stages of romantic relationships, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 1).
As mentioned earlier, Knapps model suggests that relationships develop through five different
stages: initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, and bonding, (Knapp, 1978).
The Fox, et al. study sought to investigate the role of Facebook in the initiation and
formation of romantic relationships while keeping in mind this model, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 2).

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

19

According to Fox, et al. (2012), Knapps model has worked over an extended period of time, but
little extant research has examined the role of communication technologies in romantic
relationships through his framework, and that is why Fox et al. conducted and recorded this
study, (Fox, et al., 2012). This study specifically addressed how the medium of Facebook may
be changing how people enact, elaborate, and interpret their romantic relationships, as well as
how those relationships transpire, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 5). Because not much literature exists in
relation to the intersection of SNSs and romantic relationships, Fox, et al. used focus group
methodology, (Fox, et al., 2012).
The focus groups were conducted across a three-week period of time in the spring of
2011, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 7). In order to maintain continuity across the groups, the sessions
were conducted in the same building and in similar rooms, (Fox et al., 2012). There were seven
focus groups conducted by three moderators and all were video recorded to identify verbal and
nonverbal cues, (Fox, et al., 2012). The participants consisted of 10 men and 26 women ages
ranging from 18 to 23 from a small Midwestern university, (Fox, et al., 2012).
Each focus group was coded for verbal content related to relationship initiation,
relationship development, Facebook official, information seeking, relational problems,
creeping/monitoring, and social context. The researchers focused on content related to Knapps
(1978) stages of relational development (i.e., initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating,
and bonding), (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 9).
The results of this study can be divided into five different themes: Facebook has changed
the way people enter into relationships, Facebook plays an integral role in information seeking
about a potential relational partner, listing a relational status on Facebook is perceived as both a

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

20

social and interpersonal statement, clarifying the social meaning behind Facebook official, and,
lastly, that Facebook is both a blessing and a curse to relationships, (Fox, et al., 2012).
In summary, these first two themes indicate that Facebook impacts the initiating and
experimenting stages of developing relationships. Unlike peeling away the layers of an onion as
Altman and Taylor (1973) proposed in social penetration theory, however, Facebook allows one
to slice right into a targets personality and social history, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 15).
It was found that for some couples, Facebook is a tool for relationship maintenance while
for others, it is just a burden, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 20). The data here indicates that Facebook is
playing a crucial role in its user's romantic relationships. It has altered the way by which
college-aged students initiate relationships and information-seek about potential and current
partners, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 21). This study provided new insights to the sub-stages of
relational development within Knapps relational model, (Fox, et al., 2012, p. 22).
The results of this study conducted by Fox, et al. show that many relationships today are
initiated and maintained through social media websites such as Facebook. A more recent study
conducted by Dainton and Stokes (2015) sought to understand how people use Facebook to
maintain relationships. Dainton and Stokes (2015) hypothesized that individuals who indicate
strong agreement with using Facebook for relationship maintenance will enact more Facebook
assurances, positivity, openness, and online monitoring than will individuals who indicate
disagreement or moderate agreement with using Facebook for maintenance purposes, (p. 369).
Dainton and Stokes (2015) hypothesized that there will be significant, positive
relationships between cognitive, emotional, trait, and Facebook jealousy and the use of Facebook
for maintenance purposes, (p. 371). Dainton and Stokes (2015) wanted to determine the
relationships among Facebook maintenance behaviors (including online monitoring) and the

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

21

cognitive, emotional, trait, and Facebook jealousy, (2015, p. 370). Dainton and Stokes (2015)
distributed an online questionnaire to 189 (46 men and 142 women) college students to gather
information about Facebook use, jealousy, and Facebook relationship maintenance, (Dainton &
Stokes, 2015). The first hypothesis that Dainton and Stokes (2015) constructed was not
supported:
Because the unequal sample sizes of the three groups violate the assumptions of
ANOVA, the appropriate statistic is to use the Kruskal-Wallace test, a nonparametric
statistic that does not require a normal distributionresults indicate significant
differences between the groups in the use FB assurances, FB positivity, and FB
monitoring. The results support the hypothesis for FB assurances and FB positivity.
However, examination of the means suggests a curvilinear relationship for the use of
online monitoring, with high maintenance motivation individuals performing the least
amount of monitoring among the groups. As such, the hypothesis was not supported for
monitoring, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 375).
However, with regard to the research question, results were recorded as, Results
indicated significant relationships between the Facebook maintenance measures and reported
jealousy producing two linear combinations, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 375). Results also
indicated:
that individuals who are strongly motivated to use Facebook for relationship
maintenance are more likely to engage in Facebook assurances and monitoring but that
there is a curvilinear relationship between the maintenance motive and the use of online
monitoring, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 355).

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

22

As previously stated, the second hypothesis predicted that there will be significant,
positive relationships between cognitive, emotional, trait, and Facebook jealousy and the use of
Facebook for maintenance purposes, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 371). The results indicated
that the extent to which an individual used Facebook for maintenance purposes was positively
correlated with trait jealousy, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 376). So, maintaining a relationship
over Facebook by checking in on what the other partner is doing (what pictures they like or
comment on, or who they message), will increase jealousy within a romantic relationship.
However, results failed to show a significant difference in the mean scores of the groups.
Accordingly, the hypothesis was not supported, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 377).
Dainton and Stokes (2015) used the Uses and Gratification method in their study (2015).
This method was originally developed to explain one-way media such as television and film,
however, more recently, the approach has been used to understand newer media forms, including
social media, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 366). They found that this method overall was not
effective in explaining an experience of jealousy associated to Facebook, but that it did help
them explain variations in the usage of Facebook maintenance behaviors among a group of
college students, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015). Results largely supported the prediction that
individuals high in the maintenance motivation for Facebook reported significantly more use of
online assurances and positivity, (Dainton & Stokes, 2015, p. 377). Dainton and Stokes (2015)
were finally able to come to the conclusion that their results provided a clearer picture of the
relationships between specific online behaviors and jealousy, (2015, p. 378).
Tinder
As stated above, the evolution of the smartphone has allowed for users to connect
socially in many different ways.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

23

The expansion of the Internet has reconstructed how we initiate and maintain personal
relationships. Through computer-mediated communication (CMC), users can exchange a
series of electronic messages and participate in different social activities exclusively
through cyberspace, (James, 2015, p.1).
Since smartphones are widely used and grant instant Internet access, people are generally
more accepting of using dating websites and/or applications, (James, 2015, p. 43). Generally,
online dating sites have become more socially accepted, (David & Cambre, 2016). In 2013, 23%
of adults said they have met a spouse or long-term relationship partner through online dating
sites or mobile applications, (Smith & Duggan, 2013). 59% agreed online dating is a good way
to meet people, and 21% said online daters are desperate, (Smith, 2013). Research exploring
how romantic relationships develop on the Internet has found that some people are more
comfortable talking online before meeting face-to-face, (Whitty & Carr, 2006).
Rad, co-founder and CEO of Tinder, whose app manages to gamify the search for
partners using location, images, and messages, had intended it to be, a simplified dating app
with a focus on images, (Grigoriadis, 2014). While its developers call it a social networking
app for meeting people and not for finding sexual partners, participants do include finding dates
and sexual partners among Tinders main functions. Its protocols require pre-setting a limited
geographical perimeter, age frame, choosing images, and device geolocalization for possible
matches to appear. These pre-set parameters make up the search criteria. Tinder recognizes the
users coordinates and locates other users within the perimeter and then scans those profiles to
meet the search criteria, (David & Cambre, 2016).
Those who sign up are given a limited number of images six from Facebook - and 500
words to present themselves, (David & Cambre, 2016). Tinders Facebook linking allows it to

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

24

display the so called verified profiles to reassure its users that if they have connections in
common, some measure of safety is ensured. For instance, one can visit any of the Facebook
profiles of common friends and in a couple of clicks find, verify, and explore a potential matchs
personal data and possibly make contact, (David & Cambre, 2016).
In order to have a match, both users must swipe right. After matching, a pop-up
animation shows both users photographs and enables direct messaging. A swipe to the left
discards a users profile and reveals the next card-like image. This gesture makes profile
skimming so easy and quick that it has prompted pundits and bloggers to describe the app as a
way of shopping for partners, (Baxter, 2013).
Tinder has irretrievably altered the digital dating-scape, processing more than, a billion
swipes left and right daily, (Bilton, 2014). On average, people log into the app 11 times a day,
(Bilton, 2014). Women spend as much as 8.5 minutes swiping left and right during a single
session; men spend 7.2 minutes. All of this can add up to 90 minutes each day, (Bilton, 2014).
People dont think of [Tinder] as online dating, they think of it as a game, or, as a
beauty contest plus messaging, while others see it as a, judging app, (Bosker, 2015). 96% of
Tinder users have never tried another dating application, (Colao, 2013.) Tinders unique mobile
design has generated a wide range of user applications as many download the software to locate
short-term relationships and/or casual sex, (James, 2015, p.1-2). Many have dubbed the selfselection mobile application the modernized version of Hot-or-Not, an online rating website
that allows people to evaluate the attractiveness of user-submitted photos, (James, 2015, p.14).
Precursors to swiping began in 2003 with Facemash, Facebooks antecedent, which
presented a binary hot or not game for Harvard students. Over time, many other similar online
dating sites emerged (i.e., Meetic.com, Match. com). While officially presented as dating sites,

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

25

all interviewees perceived such sites as operating like disguised hook-up sites, (David &
Cambre, 2016).
In a James (2015) study, it was found that Tinder users dont chat extensively on the app.
This could explain why conversations on Tinder often end quickly with users either deciding to
meet in person shortly after matching or discontinuing rapport all together.
Snapchat
New means of communication such as Snapchat are reshaping the way younger
generations communicate in their everyday lives, (Velten & Arif, 2016, p. 6). Snapchat is a
photo-sharing app that allows users to send photos or videos, so-called snaps, to one or several
friends, (Lansky, 2016, p. 48). Created in 2011 by two Stanford students, Spiegel and Murphy
conceived the idea of Snapchat for a final project in a product design class, (Colao, 2014).
Snapchat was created at a time when people worldwide were experiencing high levels of anxiety
regarding their online data, (Velten & Arif, 2016, p. 17). The app distinguishes itself from other
social media platforms by the ephemerality of its messages. "Snaps"photos or short videos
disappear after just a few seconds, (Lansky, 2016, p. 48). In 2013, Snapchat introduced a
personal-feed feature called Stories that allows users to compile a stream of photos and videos
that can be viewed for 24 hours, a kind of short-lived personal diary, (Lansky, 2016, p. 48).
The unique feature is that these snaps dissolve after a few seconds. Thus, in contrast to
Facebook and other social media where posts are persistent and often visible to a large
audience, the app offers opportunities for less persistent and more private
communication. Because Snapchat reduces the need for self-censorship, it has been
linked to more intimate, personal forms of sharing, including sexting, (Utz, Muscanell, &
Khalid, 2015, p. 141).

Young adults indicated that Snapchat allowed them to connect more congruently
(showing emotion with picture and text) and quickly than simply sending a text, (Vaterlaus,
Barnett, Roche, & Young, 2016, p. 600). According to studies regarding social media usage
done by the Pew Research Center (2015), it was found that 14% of online adults and 17% of
smartphone owners use apps that automatically delete the messages they send, such as
Snapchat. It was found that 41% of smartphone owners ages 18 to 29 use these services
(Snapchat), compared with just 11% of smartphone owners ages 30 to 49 and four percent of
those 50 and older. A study by Utz, et al. (2015) revealed that roughly 1320% of participants
engaged in (joke) sexting or sending snaps of legally questionable activities using Snapchat.
Social media has been presented as a way to initiate and progress social and romantic
relationships, (Yang, Brown, & Braun, 2014). The features of Snapchat were perceived to be
ideal for creating connection in the context of existing peer and romantic relationships,
(Vaterlaus, et al., 2016, p. 600). Young adults perceived that Snapchat could enhance
connections within their relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Some young
adults even suggested Snapchat could strengthen their interpersonal relationships, (Vaterlaus, et
al., 2016, p. 599). Snapchat was typically not used by participants as a tool to initiate a
relationship, rather Snapchat was used as a more advanced step to build intimacy within an
existing young adult relationship, (Vaterlaus, et al., 2016, p. 600). Recent research further
demonstrates that private communication elicits stronger negative emotions, and that more
exclusive messages are seen as threatening to the relationship, (Utz, et al., 2015, p. 142).
Because Snapchat has the reputation for being a private communication channel that allows one
to send intimate communication more safely, learning of a partners communication with
unknown others on Snapchat may particularly elicit jealousy, (Utz, et al., 2015, p. 142).

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

27

Snapchat may facilitate private communication and be a step in the relational process that
enhances young adult relationships and, on the other hand, may have negative consequences for
interpersonal relationships, (Vaterlaus, et al., 2016, p. 596). Higher rates of young adult jealousy
were present for Snapchat use when a young adults' romantic partner added a previous romantic
partner to their network or their partner was communicating with someone of the opposite sex
that was unknown to the young adult, (Utz, et al., 2015). Young adults perceived that Snapchat
behaviors could lead to challenges within their family, social, and romantic relationships. The
types of challenges varied in severity from minor annoyance to relational infidelity, (Vaterlaus,
et al., 2016, p. 597).
According to Velten and Arif (2016), participants were asked about their use of Snapchat
within their relationships.
Participants noted that they use Snapchat as a tool to move interpersonal relationships
from the experimenting stage to the intensifying stage. This is done through flirtatious,
fun, simple selfies sent from partner to partner. Instead of sending an awkward text
stating, for example, I am thinking of you, partners can send a simple image of
themselves with no words, (Velten & Arif, 2016, p. 25).
Some of the participants observed that the sharing of images via this social media
reassures the level of trust between participants of this communication tool, (Velten & Arif,
2016, p. 26). One participant said, I think it can help further a relationship by specifically
connecting with the other person through sharing photos that are funny or something only they
would find interesting, (Velten & Arif, 2016, p. 26). As one of the participants observed,
Snapchat helps her maintain long distance relationships through trust that, she believed, is
communicated via sharing of images online, (Velten & Arif, 2016, p. 26).

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

28

Snapchat images provide an outlet for users to make clear efforts toward relationship
maintenance. On days when a relationship is struggling or simply in an effort to maintain that
cheery feeling of a relationship that is going extremely well, images sent via Snapchat seem to
carry a form of reassurance, as one participant stated, I use Snapchat to strengthen my existing
one [relationships], (Velten & Arif, 2016, p. 27-28).
However, Snapchat can also play a role in a relationships demise.
As relationships sometimes unravel, one or both partners tend to avoid the other. In
general, this avoidance can be viewed in various ways (i.e. not answering a phone due to
caller-id). When a Snapchat image is sent from partner to partner during this stage of a
relationships demise, the receiver can avoid the sender by simply not replying. This lack
of reply, in itself, sends a clear message of avoidance, whether intended or not, (Velten &
Arif, 2016, p. 28).
Reviewing the literature on this topic led the researchers of this study to develop a
research question, a hypothesis, and their questionnaire. A detailed explanation of the process
the researchers took in their study on smartphone usage and the acceleration of romantic
relationships follows.

For this study, the researchers began their researching process by devising a concise and
poignant research topic. The researchers created a list of ideas and topics that would be of
interest and relevance to potential respondents, and then decided on the topic of smartphones and
the impact the devices have on romantic relationship. Once this broad topic was decided upon,
the researchers began to review previous studies done by social scientists on the topic of
smartphones and relationships. Each researcher delved into a specific area of the topic, such as
phone calling, text messaging, Facebook, Snapchat, Tinder, and video chatting. This review of
the literature led the researchers to create a list of references. After thorough research was
completed, the researchers then constructed their research question and hypothesis. The research
question states, what features of the smartphone accelerate the development of romantic
relationships? After the researchers reviewed the relevant literature on their topic and created a
research question, a questionnaire was written and then distributed to respondents.
To compose the questionnaire, the researchers first thought of basic questions to ask
respondents, such as age, gender, year in school, relationship status, and smartphone ownership.
Once these questions were composed and set in an appropriate order, the researchers created
questions which pertained more specifically to the study. Questions such as do you think that
Facebook accelerated the development of your relationship? and, which app or feature do you
believe played the most critical role in developing your romantic relationship? were some of the
questions the researchers devised to help find evidence to support or not support their research
question and hypothesis. The complete questionnaire had a total of 20 questions (Appendix B).
Each questionnaire was fitted with a consent form on the first page, ensuring the confidentiality
of the questionnaire to each respondent (Appendix D).

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

31

To gather the respondents for the survey the researchers selected random classes from the
complete Fall 2016 schedule of a small, Midwestern, liberal arts college (Appendix F).
Researchers then began to discern certain cohorts (grade levels including freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors) using color coordination and numerical ordering. Once the classes were
selected and divided to their appropriate cohort, the researchers began selecting classes from
each cohort. To select randomly, the researchers chose from a set of four numbers provided
from a numbers chart (Appendix A). Once the numbers were decided upon, one to two classes
were chosen from each cohort, each adding up to at least 25 students or more.
After classes were decided upon, the researchers then contacted the professors of each
course, asking for permission to distribute the questionnaire to their respective classes (Appendix
E). Once each researcher received a positive response from professors, the questionnaires were
distributed to individual students in each class.
In the Statistical Packages Social Sciences (SPSS) program, researchers then designated
certain nominal codes to signify and separate questions from the questionnaire. For example, the
question, Are you in a relationship? was given the code, Relationship. Researchers then
assigned numerical values to the options given in the answer key below each question. For
example, in a question with the optional responses Strongly Agree, Agree, N/A, Disagree,
Strongly Disagree, Strongly Agree would be labeled with 1, Agree with 2, and so on.
After each question and subsequent answers were designated a name and number, the
researchers then identified the level of measurement appropriate for each question and answer
(nominal, ordinal or scale). In SPSS, each question was divided into their respective categories
to ensure proper analysis.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

32

To analyze the data, the researchers ran a Frequency test on each question included in the
questionnaire. The Frequency test alone cannot answer the research question or find evidence to
support or not support the hypothesis, however, so the researchers ran Independent Samples Ttests for certain variables. For example, the researchers tested the variable Relationship, which
stands for the question, are you in a relationship? with the variable FBDevelopment, which
stands for the question, do you believe Facebook accelerated the development of your
relationship? Testing the variable Relationship with different variables regarding different
applications or features on smartphones allowed the researchers to analyze the data from only the
respondents who indicated that they are in a relationship. Once researches completed a test, they
created a bar graph to display the results. The researchers then analyzed all of the tests to answer
their research question and to analyze if they had support for their hypothesis or not.

they do not own a smartphone, then their answers to subsequent questions may have had to been
evaluated differently. Secondly, because the study is all about communication within romantic

relationships and smartphone usage, it was important to establish that the majority of students

that they are not in a relationship earlier in the questionnaire. Since the reseachers did not put
N/A as an option for this question, they are uncertain if the responses are indicative of those
who are in romantic relationships, because respondents who are not in a relationships could have
answered the question with a different meaning in mind. For example, a respondent not in a
relationship could have circled the option which reflected how often they use their phone for
communication in general, which could add up to many more hours than communication with

conclusions about what respondents as a whole think about apps accelerating the development of
romantic relationships. Between both single and committed respondents, the most popular
response is Disagree, with 47 respondents choosing that response. The second most popular
response is Agree, with 42 respondents choosing that option. Fourteen respondents chose
Strongly Disagree, while only 6 respondents chose Agree. By looking at these frequencies

variable, Relationship with variables regarding other applications or features on smartphones,
the researchers were able to gather data specifically on the respondents in relationships. This
Independent Sample T-Test tested the variable Relationship, which stands for, Are you in a

relationships. Out of 49 respondents in a relationship, one respondent chose Strongly Agree,
nine chose Agree, six chose N/A, 15 chose Disagree, and 18 chose Strongly Disagree. The mean
answer from the respondents who said they are in a relationship is 3.8. In the researchers coding,
3 stands for N/A. Therefore, the mean response for respondents in a relationship is N/A.
The test yielded a significance value of .000. This significance value indicates that there is
strong evidence to support that respondents in a relationship do not have an opinion on the
impact that Facebook has in accelerating the development of their romantic relationship.

Summary

83

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

84

The purpose of the study that the researchers conducted was to find out what applications
of the smartphone have an effect on the development of romantic relationships among college
students at a small, liberal arts college in the Midwest. After studying and researching previous
studies done on smartphones and romantic relationships, the researchers used a stratified random
sampling method to choose classes from each cohort at the college. After the classes were
chosen, a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was distributed to the students. Out of the 141
participants that completed the questionnaire, 49 of these participants reported that they were
currently in a relationship.
The research question that the researchers sought to answer was: which features of the
smartphone accelerate the development of romantic relationships? The researchers found
significance values under .05 for the Independent Sample T-tests ran on phone calls and text
messages. Therefore, respondents at this small, Midwestern, liberal arts college believe that
phone calls and text messaging accelerated the development of their romantic relationships.
Thus, the answer to the research question is: phone calls and text messages accelerate the
development of romantic relationships.
The researchers hypothesized: smartphones accelerate the development of romantic
relationships. The researchers asked respondents to indicate if they believed apps were critical in
developing a romantic relationship. This test yielded a significance value of .419. Therefore, the
researchers did not have evidence to suggest that respondents believe that apps are critical to
developing a romantic relationship. Therefore, upon analyzing the data, the researchers do not
have evidence to support their hypothesis.
After analyzing the data, the researchers put together a list of limitations to their study
and recommendations for further study.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Limitations of the study

85

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

86

The researchers who conducted the study identified several limitations that could
influence the studys data and results. The first limitation is in regards to the overall sample size
for the study. The researchers had 141 participants fill out the questionnaire, however, only 49
respondents indicated they were in a romantic relationship. Since the purpose of the study was
to determine if certain smartphone applications accelerate the development of romantic
relationships, it would have been helpful to have more respondents who were in a relationship to
participate. This would have allowed the studys conclusions to be made with more statistical
confidence.
The majority of the questions in the questionnaire were directed primarily at those in a
romantic relationship. As only 49 participants involved in the study indicated that they were in a
relationship, many questions were irrelevant to the respondents who were not in a romantic
relationship. Clear instructions were not included in the questionnaire for single respondents, so
they could have answered the questions that were only aimed at respondents in a relationship.
This made it difficult to distinguish between respondents in a relationship and not in a
relationship.
Another limitation to the researchers study were the options available on some of the
questions. For example, one of the questions asked, do you believe that Snapchatting
accelerated the development of your relationship? The options for this question were, Strongly
Agree, Agree, N/A, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. The option of answering N/A on the
questionnaire may have skewed the results of the data because N/A can have a different
meaning to each individual involved in the study. The researchers provided N/A as an option
for participants to indicate they did not have a strong opinion on that particular question. The

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

87

researchers never explicitly defined N/A, however, so respondents did not know that the
researchers assumed this definition for the option.
Lastly, participants in the study may have unintentionally underestimated the impact
smartphones have on their lives and relationships, therefore rating the effects of smartphones
lower than their real-world impact. Since all of the respondents involved in the study were
college students, it is likely that the participants have been exposed to smartphones for a majority
of their lives. Due to the millennial generations familiarity with smartphones, those involved in
the study may not realize how much they rely on their smartphones throughout everyday life,
including in their communication with their significant others.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Recommendations for further study

88

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

89

Stemming from the limitations of the study found by the researchers, there are several
recommendations for future studies. Since the overall sample size of 141 respondents only
yielded 49 subjects involved in a relationship and the study set out to find the effect of
smartphone use on romantic relationships, it would have been beneficial to obtain a larger
sample size to get a larger number of participants in a relationship. A sample size of 200 to 300
participants would provide researchers with more respondents that fell within the intended
demographic of the study and would have allowed the researchers to have drawn more
statistically confident conclusions from the study. Future researchers might find it beneficial to
only target individuals who are in romantic relationships.
Due to the fact that the questionnaire primarily consisted of questions pertaining to
people in a relationship, instructions telling those not involved with a significant other to
disregard questions about relationships should have been provided. A simple instruction stating,
if you are not in a romantic relationship, disregard questions 5-10, could have provided more
guidance for respondents. This would also automatically eliminate any respondents who are not
in a romantic relationship if they are included in the study.
For the questions asking the participants their feelings on how certain smartphone
applications accelerated their relationships, Strongly Agree, Agree, N/A, Disagree, Strongly
Disagree were the options provided in this linear order. Future researchers may consider
eliminating the response N/A and instead telling respondents to skip the certain question if
they are not in a romantic relationship. If researchers do not want to include this instruction,
then the option N/A could be provided along with the option Unsure.
The researchers also suggest that future researchers consider only asking questions that
they will use at the end of their study. In this study, many questions were asked that didnt have

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

90

any tests ran on the data at all. For example, the questions, how many hours a day do you use
Facebook? and, how long have you been in a relationship? While the researchers ran a
frequency test all questions, no other tests were ran on these two questions and many more that
made it useful to answering the research question or hypothesis. Future researchers might find it
beneficial to only include questions in the questionnaire that they will use in data analysis.
Lastly, the researchers suggest that future researchers ask respondents about more
applications on smartphones. In this study, the researchers only asked about Facebook and
Snapchat. Future researchers could look into the effects that even more applications have on
romantic relationships, such as Tinder, Instagram, Twitter, and e-mail.

Conclusion

91

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

92

The findings of the study the researchers conducted suggests that they found a clear
answer to their research question, which features of the smartphone accelerate the development
of romantic relationships? The researchers found that the evidence they gathered from a small,
Midwestern, liberal arts college suggest that the use of phone calls and text messages play a
significant part accelerating the development of romantic relationships. Both text messaging and
phone calls received a significance value of lesser than .05, indicating that the respondents
believe that phone calls and text messaging accelerated the development of their romantic
relationships.
The hypothesis the researchers established, on the other hand, is not supported. The
researchers ran an Independent Samples T-test with the variable Relationship, which stands for
the question, are you in a relationship? and the variable Apps, which stands for the question,
do you believe apps on smartphones are crucial to developing a romantic relationship? This
test yielded a significance value of .419, which means that the researchers must accept the null
hypothesis, rejecting their hypothesis. Although the hypothesis is not supported, it is still
interesting to note the answer for the research question. Although respondents who indicated
that they were in relationship do not think applications on smartphones accelerated the
development of their romantic relationship, the tests show that respondents believe that phone
calling and text messaging accelerated the development of their romantic relationships.
The researchers researched this topic to find out what applications of smartphones
accelerate the development of romantic relationships among college students at a small,
Midwestern, liberal arts college. Conducting this research is important because the way in which
romantic relationships develop is always changing. Today, most individuals, especially collegeaged adults, have a smartphone. The significance of this study was to reveal how much the

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

93

invention of the smartphones and the use of their applications accelerate the development of
romantic relationships.
The researchers based their research on Knapps relational development theory (1978),
which states that there is five key stages of a relational development: initiating, experimenting,
intensifying, integrating, and bonding. The researchers also based their research on the findings
of a number of social scientists who studied smartphones and their functionalities relating to
romantic relationships. According to Pettegrew and Day (2015), smartphones play such a
significant role in romantic relationships today, so much so that face-to-face interactions seems
almost entirely irrelevant in the early stages of a relationship. Jin and Pena (2008) discovered
that the higher amount of mobile phone usage suggests positive outcomes within relationships.
McEwan and Horn (2016), as well as Pettegrew and Day (2015), suggest that the frequency and
positive discussion within text messaging often leads to positive outcomes overall within
romantic relationships. The researchers used this knowledge from previous researchers to
develop their research question, hypothesis, and compose their questionnaire.
Through distributing the questionnaire and analyzing the data, the researchers have
developed a list of limitations to their study. The first limitation is the sample size. Of the 141
participants studied, only 49 indicated that they were in a romantic relationship. The purpose of
the study was to examine those involved in romantic relationships, therefore the researchers were
only able to examine a little over a third of their respondents. The researchers did not examine
respondents who were not in a romantic relationship, because they did not believe it was
pertinent to their study.
The next limitation the researchers encountered were the questions in the questionnaire.
Since such a significant amount of respondents were not currently in a romantic relationship,

they may have answered the questions regardless of their current relationship status. For
example, they may have still answered the question, How many minutes a week do you spend
video chatting (FaceTime, Skype, etc.) with your significant other? This could have diluted the
final results and not given a reflective result of the sample we were intending to study (those
involved in romantic relationships). This is also why the researchers were only able to run tests
that would allow them to look only at the respondents in a romantic relationship, like the
Independent Samples T-test, for example.
Another limitation to the study is the options that were given in some of the questions.
For example, for the question, Do you believe Facebook accelerated the development of your
romantic relationship, the options respondents had was Strongly Agree, Agree, N/A, Disagree,
and Strongly Disagree. The researchers believed that N/A could be an option that signified that
respondents were unsure or didnt have an opinion on the question. The researchers also
assumed that respondents not in a relationship would choose this option for questions that did not
apply to them. Having two different ideas of the meaning for the same response is confusing
when analyzing the results, though, and more options should have been presented to limit
confusion.
Based off these limitations, the researchers composed a list of recommendations. First,
the researchers recommend finding a larger sample size, one that includes more respondents who
are actually in a romantic relationship. Researchers with more resources or time might find a
way to only have people involved in romantic relationships answer the questionnaire in the first
place, instead of blindly having respondents fill out the question, not knowing their relationship
status before.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

95

The next recommendation the researchers suggested is to construct a more specific


questionnaire. Researchers could do this by only asking questions that will be used at the end of
the study when analyzing the data, and by giving specific instructions for those who are not in a
romantic relationship. That way, if respondents who are not in a romantic relationship may be
filling the questionnaire out, they will know what to do with the questions that do not apply to
them.
The researchers recommend that future researchers provide more specific options to
answering the questions. For example, a question asking, Do you believe Snapchatting
accelerated the development of your relationship? would have the options Strongly Agree,
Agree, Unsure, Disagree, Strongly Disagree, and N/A. This way, respondents who are not in a
relationship have a clear option to circle, and respondents who are in a relationship but do not
have an opinion on the question can circle Unsure. The researchers also recommend that
future researchers ask respondents about more smartphone applications, such as Tinder, Twitter,
Instagram, or email.
The researchers findings and research have both answered questions as well as created
them. They have found that respondents at a small, Midwestern, liberal arts college believe that
only phone calls and text messages accelerate the development of their romantic relationships.
The researchers do not have evidence to suggest that other popular functions and applications,
such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Video Chat, accelerate the development of romantic
relationships.

RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
Please address each of the following points below. If a question or section is not applicable to
your research, please state this.

1. Purpose & Significance of Project.

Briefly describe the purpose of your research.

The purpose of our research is to determine if students believe the use of smartphones accelerate
the development of romantic relationships.

Describe your hypotheses/goals. If you give background on previous research that

supports your goals, please include reference citations at end of this section.
Our hypothesis is, Smartphones accelerates the development of romantic relationships. Our
goal in this research is to better understand how various apps and features on smartphones, such
as Facebook, Snapchat, voice call, texting, and video call, impact the development of romantic
relationships.

Include an explanation of the expected outcome.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

114

We expect the outcome to show that students will believe that smartphones accelerate the
development of romantic relationships.

Indicate why the information obtained might be useful or beneficial.

The information obtained will be beneficial because it will help researchers and others who are
interested to better understand what students in the Fall of 2016 at a small, Catholic, Midwestern
school believe about smartphones and romantic relationships.

2. Participants
Recruitment:

How will you recruit the participants?

We will recruit the participants by randomly selecting classes from each grade: first-year,
sophomore, junior and senior. Once a class is selected, we will ask the professor of that class to
grant us permission to give our questionnaire to his or her students.

Where will they be recruited from?

They will be recruited from Loras College.

How will they be selected?

The participants will be selected by using a stratified random sampling method. Every class in
the Fall of 2016 at Loras College is eligible, and classes with freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and
seniors will be randomly selected.

Justification is required if participants will be restricted to one gender, racial, or ethnic

group.
This is not applicable.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

115

Consent:

How will you obtain consent?

We will ontain consent by having each participant sign a waiver on the front of the questionnaire
that will be distributed.

If, due to the nature of your research, a formal consent document cannot be used,

justification for this must be given.


This is not applicable.

Collaboration:

If you will be collaborating with other institutions in order to recruit participants and

conduct the research, please attach approvals that have been or will be obtained (e.g., school
districts, hospitals, other colleges). Preferably these will be letters on the cooperating
institutions letterhead, stating willingness to participate.
This is not applicable.

3. Methods and Procedure: Describe your research procedure.

What will you ask the participants to do?

We will ask the participants to fill out a questionnaire.

Where will they do this? Alone or in groups?

They will do this alone.

How long will the procedure take? How many sessions?

The procedure will take only one session and about 15 minutes.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

116

Give details about any questionnaires or stimuli participants will be exposed to; be

specific in amounts or dosages of any substances participants will be asked to ingest.


(Participants may not consume alcoholic beverages in student research projects.)
Participants will only be exposed to one questionnaire which asks about 20 questions.

Instruments/Materials: Attach copies of all forms, surveys and instruments to be used.

4. Risk & Benefit Analysis

What are the psychological, physical, or social (loss of reputation, deception, privacy,

etc) risks subjects might encounter by participating? (Please do not say none. All activities
involve some risk, although it may be minimal.)
Participants may feel down about themselves if they are not in a romantic relationship, because
the whole questionnaire is about romantic relationships.

What precautions will you take to protect participants or reduce risk?

We will ensure their anonynomity so they know that no one will see their results.

What benefit, if any, will the participants gain from participating in this research?

(Please do not include compensation or course credit as benefit. If none, simply state that.)
They will gain nothing.

What compensation, if any, will participants receive (payment, gifts, course credit, etc.)?

(If none, simply state that.)


They will receive no payment.

What follow-up or debriefing procedures will you have after the research is concluded?

We will have no follow-up.

SMARTPHONES AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

117

If any deception or withholding of information is required for this research, please

explain why it is necessary and how this will be handled in the debriefing. Attach debriefing
script.
There will be no debriefing.

5. Data Handling

How will the data be kept anonymous or confidential?

The data will be kept anonymous by immediately removing the signed cover letter from the
questionnaire. All cover letters and questionnaires will be kept in separate boxes once complete.
All cover letters will be destroyed.

Where will data be stored and for how long? Who will have access to the data?

Data will be stored in Dr. Mary Carol Harriss office at Loras College. Only Dr. Harris and
group members will have access to the data until the research is done in December.

Include specific details on the use and storage of any audio or video tapes.

We do not have any audio or video tapes.

Do you plan to share the results of this research in a class? If so, how?

Yes, we plan to share the results of this research in class. We will be giving a PowerPoint
presentation to the class on our findings.

Do you plan to share the results of this research outside of your class? If so, how?

We have no plans to share the results of this research outside of your class.

6. If Participants Will Be Minors (Under age 18)

Justify the inclusion of minors.

6.

Investigator Background (Student researchers only)

What coursework have you had to prepare you for research?

We have had lessons on ethics in research, why social scientists conduct research, how to craft
hypotheses, research questions, and a questionnaire.

What is your previous research-related experience, if any?

None.

How will your faculty sponsor supervise or be involved?

Our professor, Dr. Mary Carol Harris, will be with us through the whole process. She helped
form the research topic, hypothesis, and research question. She will also help us to interpret our
data from the questionnaires.
