Résumé
Depuis leur création en 2004, les sites de socialisation virtuelle sont devenus des plateformes de communication privilégiées par plusieurs internautes. La présente étude vise à examiner les liens entre l’utilisation des sites de socialisation virtuelle et diverses variables intrapersonnelles et relationnelles. Dans la présente étude, 822 participants en relation de couple ont répondu à un questionnaire sur Internet. Les résultats indiquent que plus les internautes affichent des taux élevés d’attachement anxieux, de névrosisme et de cyberinfidélité, plus ils consacrent de temps à leurs activités sur les sites de socialisation virtuelle. Les résultats des analyses de régression multiple soulignent que le nombre d’amis sur Facebook, ainsi que les problèmes reliés à l’utilisation de Facebook contribuent significativement à l’explication de la variance associée à l’ajustement conjugal et la satisfaction sexuelle.

Abstract
Since their creation in 2004, social networking sites have become a central communication tool for many internet users. The aim of this article is to examine the links between social network use and various intrapersonal and interpersonal variables. In this study, 822 participants involved in a steady intimate relationship answered an online survey. Results revealed that the more Internet users reported attachment anxiety, neuroticism, and cyber infidelity, the more they spent time on their social network activities. Results of multiple regression analyses showed that the number of friends on Facebook, as well as problems related to Facebook contributed significantly to the variance of couple adjustment and sexual satisfaction.
