Time to Face It! Facebook Intrusion and the Implications for Romantic Jealousy and Relationship Satisfaction

In this paper authors study the impact of social media networks on relationships. They explore the extent to which an individual’s involvement with Facebook impacts their relationship satisfaction, via the experience and expression of romantic jealousy.

This questionnaire might be ueful if we decide to do a survey about the impact of social media services on relationship.
