Due to opposing views regarding Internet communication, the use of technology in maintaining interpersonal relationships is an important issue worthy of examination (O'Sullivan, 2000). Differences in social connectedness and interpersonal relationship satisfaction as a function of face-to-face interactions versus use of a social networking site were examined in the current study. Participants included 87 undergraduate and 60 graduate students from two private universities. Female and male participants completed a demographic questionnaire, Facebook Intensity Scale (Ellison, Steinfield, & Lampe, 2007), Relationship Assessment Scale (Hendrick, 1988), and Social Connectedness Scale-Revised (Lee, Draper, & Lee, 2001). Multiple regressions indicated that participants who were more socially connected were more satisfied in their relationships with family members and friends. However, frequency of face-to-face and online social networking was not found to predict relationship satisfaction and social connectedness. Additionally, an independent samples t-test revealed that females accessed Facebook to feel more connected to family members and friends. Race was an important variable, indicating that Caucasian participants were more satisfied and socially connected with family members and friends than African-Americans. One important limitation was the unknown validity of measuring face-to-face and non-face-to-face interactions using quantitative, self-report methods. Clinical and theoretical implications, limitations, and directions for future research were discussed.
