The Impact of the Use of Social Media Sites on Marital Disputes from a Married Couple's Point of View - Field Study in the City of Aflou –

This study seeks to identify precisely how using social media platforms influences marital disagreements. Furthermore, it aims to uncover any significant differences in this impact based on variables such as gender, the specific type of social network being used, and the individual's occupation. The research also strives to discover the statistical relationship between the effect of social media use on marital conflicts, on the one hand, and both the couple's age and the duration of their marriage, on the other. Employing a quasi-experimental methodology, deemed most suitable for such an investigation, the study was conducted on a sample consisting of eighty (80) families (both husbands and wives).

The primary instrument used was the "Social Media Use and Marital Disputes Scale," originally developed by researcher Qachmar Ali Lotfi Ali in 2019; this scale comprises twenty-eight (28) statements thoughtfully distributed across four (04) distinct axes. To analyze the collected data and arrive at the study's findings, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 22) was utilized. In conclusion, the research puts forward a series of recommendations deemed appropriate and relevant to this critical subject matter.
