A Psychosociological AnalysisN of the Phenomenon of Digital Jealousy An Analysis of Key Previous Studies

Abstract

The phenomenon of digital jealousy has become increasingly prevalent in family life, particularly in marital relationships, due to the excessive use of social media. This jealousy manifests itself when one spouse feels anxious or suspicious about the other's online interactions, such as private messages or engagements with other people on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. This type of jealousy differs from traditional jealousy, as it involves new challenges related to privacy and transparency in relationships, leading to an erosion of trust between spouses.

    In this article, through our analysis of a set of previous studies on the phenomenon, it has become clear that the use of social media networks has significantly threatened the relationships and bonds between spouses due to the digital jealousy resulting from their continuous and constant use.
