“…More secure attachment behaviors from the wife are associated with higher relationship quality for self and partner and lower relational aggression for self. Collectively, these main effects mirror other studies' proposition that couple-specific attachment behaviors are key to relationship satisfaction (Larson et al, 2013;Schade, Sandberg, Bean, Busby, & Coyne, 2013) and lower relational and physical aggression (Oka, Sandberg, Bradford, & Brown, 2014). Our findings add that these associations may exist regardless of other contextual factors in the relationship (such as video game use or problems with time together).…”

We examined whether time together as a problem mediates the link between frequency of video game use and relational outcomes (relationship quality, relational aggression, physical aggression) among 431 married couples. We also examined the moderating effect of couple attachment behaviors on the association between time together as a problem and outcomes. There was no support for a direct or indirect relationship between gaming and outcomes; however, time together as a problem was consistently related to outcomes. Additionally, husband's and wife's attachment behaviors moderated the association between women's reports of time together as a problem and men's relational aggression. Clinical implications are discussed.

Little is known about the features, depth, and quality of communication in heterosexual dating relationships that include computer-mediated communication (CMC). This study examined these features as well as CMC's potential to facilitate self-disclosure and information-seeking. It also evaluated whether partner CMC interactions play a role in partner intimacy and communication quality. Young adults (N = 359; 18-24) attending postsecondary education institutions completed an online survey about their CMC use. To be included in the study, all participants were in established dating relationships at the time of the study and reported daily communication with their partner. CMC was linked to partners' disclosure of nonintimate information. This personal self-disclosure was linked positively to relationship intimacy and communication quality, beyond contributions from face-to-face interactions. Breadth (not depth) of self-disclosure and positively valenced interactions, in particular, proved key to understanding greater levels of intimacy in dating relationships and better communication quality as a function of CMC. CMC provides opportunities for partners to stay connected and to improve the overall quality of their intimacy and communication.

“…Los móviles acompañan la vivencia 24/7 (24 horas al día, los siete días de la semana) y se erigen como posibilitadores de muchas de las interacciones; emocionales o no, físicas o no; que se establecen en el recorrido del día a día. Varios estudios apuntan que llamar y escribir mensajes (desde SMS hasta WhatsApp) a través de teléfono móvil es la estrategia de conexión más utilizada entre parejas jóvenes y/o usuarias de tecnología (McCormack, 2015; Schade et al, 2013), por lo que también podemos afirmar que el móvil es un tercero implicado dentro de las parejas románticas y una expansión del propio "yo" (Hoffner et al, 2015), pudiendo tener repercusiones en los modos de exponerse y vincularse.…”

“…Nuestras evidencias confirman que escribir mensajes a través del smartphone es la estrategia de conexión más utilizada entre parejas jóvenes y/o usuarias de tecnología(McCormack, 2015;Schade et al, 2013). Como afirmaLasén (2014), los teléfonos móviles median y participan en los vínculos afectivos que se construyen entre los jóvenes, transformando algunos de los significados, concepciones y valores que existen sobre el amor y las relaciones, por lo que esta herramienta se convierte en un tercero implicado dentro de las parejas románticas y una expansión del propio "yo"(Hoffner et al, 2015).…”
