社交媒体为青少年提供了一个执行关键发展任务的环境，然而，科技在青少年约会关系中扮演的角色是一个相对较新的研究领域。对青春期女孩(N=70；白人：42.1%，黑人：37.1%，西班牙裔或拉丁裔：4.3%，混血：11.4%)进行了深入的访谈，以探索约会动态背景下对科技的动机和对科技的参与。女孩们被问到：“你认为互联网影响了你对约会和约会关系的看法吗？”出现了三个主题，每个主题都有子主题：主题1讨论了社交媒体在约会关系中的积极效用，主题2讨论了社交媒体在约会关系中的消极效用，主题3讨论了混合效用-积极和消极效用的交集。研究结果表明，青少年对社交媒体工具的认知是复杂的，特别是它们的混合效用。
Social media provides a context within which adolescents enact key developmental tasks, yet the role technology plays in adolescent dating relationships is a relatively new field of investigation. In-depth interviews were conducted with adolescent girls (N = 70; White: 42.1%, Black: 37.1%, Hispanic or Latino: 4.3%, mixed race: 11.4%) to explore motivations for, and engagement with, technology in the context of dating dynamics. Girls were asked, "Do you think the Internet has influenced your ideas about dating and dating relationships?" Three main themes emerged, each with subthemes: Theme 1 addressed the Positive Utilities of Social Media in Dating Relationships, Theme 2 addressed the Negative Utilities of Social Media in Dating Relationships, and Theme 3 addressed Mixed Utilities-The Intersection of Positive and Negative Utilities. Findings present a complex understanding of teens' perceptions of social media tools, particularly their mixed utilities.
