The final question of research focused on the level of jealousy between couples that are
in various stages of relationship that use Facebook regularly. A multiple regression was used to
predict if jealousy would be affected by the amount of self-disclosure paired with Facebook
usage. A significant regression was found, F(2, 208) = 55.837, < .001, with R² = .349.
Predictors of jealousy found that self-disclosure was a negative factor ( = -.088) while
Facebook usage was a positive predictor ( = .603). Self-disclosure did have an effect on
jealousy when Facebook was the moderating factor 35% of the time.
