“…attempts to control and “win” the argument) when they use text messaging in comparison with FtF communication in couple conflict (Makki, 2019). Similarly, individuals who use primarily FtF communication in couple conflict report a negative relationship between flooding and effective conflict communication, but this relationship is not significant for individuals who use primarily mediated communication, suggesting mediated communication might buffer the negative effect of flooding on conflict communication (Kashian, 2019). Experimental research shows that satisfied individuals make relationally enhancing attributions for their partners’ conflict behavior when they use asynchronous communication, but not synchronous communication (Kashian and Walther, 2020).…”

This 5-day daily diary study examined the influence of media use on the spillover and crossover effect of couple conflict among married and dating couples. Couples aged 18–38 years recorded their daily overload, negative mood, couple conflict, media use, flooding, and satisfaction. The results showed negative spillover and crossover effects: individuals reported more negative moods and couple conflict in response to their own and their partners’ increase in daily overload. Following media synchronicity theory, the more synchronous media couples used in conflict, the more they resolved the conflict. In addition, the more couples segmented their channels, the less they flooded and the more they resolved the conflict. The results suggest that dating and married couples might benefit from managing conflict associated with spillover and crossover effects using synchronous channels that are segmented.

“…Representative US research has shown that 23% of young adults (ages 18-29) or 9% of all adults have resolved an argument with their romantic partner online or by text messaging that they have had difficulty resolving in person (Lenhart & Duggan, 2014). Individuals have also reported discussing a topic of romantic conflict with their partners using voice calls, video calls, email, social media, and desktop instant messaging (Kashian & Sharabi, 2023).…”

A 5-day diary study examined how channel affordances are related to channel use and outcomes in romantic conflict. Adults answered five consecutive days of surveys about daily conflict occurrence, channel affordances, channel use, and conflict behavior. The results of a 1–1–1 multilevel mediation analysis showed negative within-indirect effects for the channel affordances of editability and persistence on constructive conflict behavior via mobile text messaging, and a positive within-indirect effect for the channel affordance of bandwidth on constructive conflict behavior via face-to-face communication. The data suggest that channel affordances motivate channel use in romantic conflict and that these channel affordances are indirectly related to constructive conflict behavior.
