Jealousy can be directly caused by Facebook usage. As a relationship moves forward, one
partner’s chronic use of Facebook may hinder their relationship because of the jealousy it may
cause. Increasing Facebook usage provides individuals with an increased access to information,
which may directly cause jealously in their relationship. If increased use of Facebook causes
more jealous feelings if a couple is experiencing jealous feelings, reducing Facebook usage
should decrease the levels of jealousy felt.
