社交媒体的普及为浪漫关系的互动提供了新的可能。伴侣在社交媒体中公开浪漫关系状态、分享相关信息，昭示着线下的稳定交往与长久维持关系的承诺。在这一过程中，浪漫关系的公开程度被称为在线浪漫关系可见性。现有针对在线浪漫关系可见性的研究较少将其视为连续变化的变量进行测量，所使用的理论框架较为分散，也很少同时从预测因素及影响两个层面综合审视这一行为；对在线浪漫关系可见性影响的研究中，针对浪漫嫉妒的研究存在相反的解释结果。本研究关注在线浪漫关系可见性受到哪些关系特征及个人特征的影响，以及如何影响伴侣双方的嫉妒水平及相互作用模式。本研究通过两个子研究分别探究在线浪漫关系可见性的预测因素模型及对嫉妒的影响模式，以微信为社交媒体代表，针对中国18-35岁的未婚异性恋青年情侣通过滚雪球方式收集在线问卷。针对在线浪漫关系可见性的预测因素探究收集个体数据，建立并检验了在线浪漫关系可见性的预测模型，模型验证了投资模型理论的满意度、替代方案、投资水平这三个关系特征对承诺度的影响，对一段关系越满意、投入时间与精力越多、浪漫关系替代对象越少的人，承诺度就越高；模型也证实了承诺水平越高的人拥有更高的披露浪漫关系的意愿，在线呈现浪漫关系的程度也更高。个人的依恋回避水平越高，会减弱浪漫关系披露意愿的在线实现，而依恋焦虑水平会放大在线展示浪漫关系的程度。针对在线浪漫关系可见性的影响探究收集成对数据，建立主—客体互倚模型，分析对双方浪漫嫉妒的影响。女性的嫉妒水平显著高于男性；无论男女，他们在线呈现浪漫关系的水平都会导致自身嫉妒水平升高，但在线呈现浪漫关系均可以降低伴侣的嫉妒感受。对双方成对模式的分析表明，男性的嫉妒水平会受到自身与伴侣在线展示浪漫关系的影响，而女性的嫉妒水平更多由自己的在线展示程度预测。在线浪漫关系可见性体现了用户对数字媒介环境的主动认知和创造性利用，是媒介可供性的重要体现；象征了承诺的意义，但我们应当结合对技术的反思重新审视数字环境中的这种承诺的价值；对两性嫉妒水平及模式影响的差异，可能与不平等的社会性别规范有关。
The widespread use of social media has provided new possibilities for the interaction of romantic relationships. Partners openly share their romantic relationship status and related information on social media, indicating a commitment to stable offline communication and long-term relationships. In this process, the degree of openness of romantic relationships is referred to as online romantic relationship visibility. Existing studies on online romantic relationship visibility has rarely measured it as a continuously changing variable, the theoretical framework used is relatively scattered, and there is a lack of comprehensive examination of this behavior from both predictive and influential factors. In studies on the impact of online romantic relationship visibility, there are contradictory results regarding romantic jealousy.This study focuses on the influence of relationship and personal characteristics on online romantic relationship visibility, as well as how it affects romantic jealousy and interaction patterns of both partners. Through two sub-studies, this research explores the proposed model of online romantic relationship visibility and the impact model on romantic jealousy, using WeChat as a representative social media platform and collecting online questionnaires through snowball sampling for unmarried heterosexual couples aged 18-35 in China.The first sub-study of this research aimed to explore the predictive factors of online romantic relationship visibility for individuals and established and tested a predictive model for online romantic relationship visibility. The model verified that the satisfaction, alternative options, and investment level predicted by the investment model theory have an impact on commitment. The higher the satisfaction, investment of time and emotion, and the fewer romantic backups in a relationship, the higher the commitment. The model also confirmed that individuals with higher commitment levels have a greater willingness to disclose their romantic relationships in daily life, and they display a higher level of online romantic relationship visibility. The higher the individual‘s attachment avoidance level, the weaker the willingness to disclose romantic relationships online, while the attachment anxiety level magnifies the degree of displaying romantic relationships online.In the second sub-study, this research focused on the impact of online romantic relationship visibility on romantic jealousy for partners and collected dyadic data for analysis. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used to analyze the effects of online romantic relationship visibility on romantic jealousy for both. The investigation revealed that women‘s jealousy was significantly higher than men‘s. Regardless of gender, displaying romantic relationships online increased one‘s own jealousy level but decreased the partner‘s jealousy level. The analysis of paired patterns indicated that men‘s jealousy was affected by both their own and their partner‘s online displays of romantic relationships. In contrast, women‘s jealousy was mainly predicted by their own online display.Online romantic relationship visibility reflects users‘ active awareness and creative use of social media, which is an important manifestation of media affordance. Online romantic relationship visibility does symbolize commitment, but we should reconsider the specific value of online commitment in the digital environment. The differences between women and men may be related to unequal social gender norms.
