The impact of communication technologies on life and relationship satisfaction

作者:

Highlights:

• Surveyed use of ten communication methods, and life and relationship satisfaction.

• Considered the richness of the methods, whether they include non-verbal cues.

• Use of richer methods predicted an increase in both satisfaction measures.

• More restricted methods, with less cues, predicted a decrease in both variables.

• The strength of the association varied depending on the type of relationship.
