Abstract

This research is mainly focus on the discussion of the user experience and preference for college students with their romantic relation partner. Nowadays, people always use social media to contact with other people, especially their romantic partner. Couples use social media to chat every moment when they miss their lover and also share their life by sending photos. By attachment theory, there are four different attachment styles. Each attachment style is measured by avoidance and anxiety. Previous studies have investigated the effect of attachment theory in romantic relation. However, seldom studies discuss the use of social media between romantic partners. We want to know that whether the social media used by different attachment style people would influence the satisfaction of love or not.
