Summary of proposed future agendas
| Research themes and subthemes | RQ | Potential agendas for future research |
|---|---|---|
| Conceptualization | RQ1.1 | How can theories from domains of information systems science and communication studies contribute to advancing knowledge of SoMJ as a concept? |
| RQ1.2 | Would the adoption of more objective, observational, and longitudinal methodological approaches make a significant contribution to improving our understanding of SoMJ as a concept? | |
| Sociodemographic differences | RQ2.1 | How do different age- and gender-based cohorts experience the various emotions associated with SoMJ? |
| RQ2.2 | How do different age-based cohorts define the acceptability thresholds for social media behavior that may induce jealousy? | |
| RQ2.3 | How are platonic forms of SoMJ induced among different age groups? | |
| RQ2.4 | How do cultural and ethnic parameters, such as personal values, affect the factors associated with social media use and induced jealousy? | |
| Antecedent (Individuals) | RQ3.1 | How do an individual's personality traits affect the relational maintenance strategies that he or she may adopt to resolve SoMJ? |
| RQ3.2 | How do an individual's goals and motives for SMP use influence his or her experience of SoMJ? | |
| RQ3.3 | How strongly does past experience influence an individual's experience with jealousy in a current relationship? | |
| Antecedent (Partners) | RQ3.4 | Do the personality traits of both individuals in a relationship interact in any way to influence their experiences of SoMJ? |
| RQ3.5 | What, if any, are the differences in how both partners in the relationship respond to SoMJ? | |
| RQ3.6 | How do partners react behaviorally and/or emotionally to their significant others' experiences of SoMJ? | |
| RQ3.7 | How does interpersonal communication between an individual and his or her partner impact the conflict resolution or coping mechanisms that are adopted as a behavioral response to SoMJ? | |
| Antecedent (Rivals) | RQ3.8 | How do the actions of the perceived rival(s) influence SoMJ and its outcomes? |
| RQ3.9 | What are the individual's behavioral and emotional responses to his or her perceived SMP-based rivals? | |
| Antecedent (Relationship) | RQ3.10 | How does social media-related infidelity in previous/current relationships impact an individual's experience of SoMJ and his or her future social media usage? |
| RQ3.11 | How do an individual's sexual orientation and type of relationship influence SoMJ and the associated thresholds of acceptable social media behavior? | |
| RQ3.12 | What is the impact of relational commitment on evoked emotions, such as anger or sadness, when an individual is confronted with jealousy-inducing social media activities? | |
| RQ3.13 | Is there a positive influence of newer forms of potential dyadic social media activities, such as online gaming, on tempering SoMJ? | |
| Antecedent (Platform affordances) | RQ3.14 | How, if at all, does SoMJ emerge across different SMPs, such as Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat? |
| RQ3.15 | How do contextual or linguistic cues differ in terms of the potentially flirtatious behavior exhibited on SMPs vis-à-vis offline interaction? | |
| RQ3.16 | How do different platform affordances, such as content or activities, affect the intensity or level of SoMJ and the associated emotions experienced by two romantically engaged individuals? | |
| Consequences | RQ4.1 | What is the mechanism of effect through which the negative emotions (level and intensity) associated with SoMJ may be directed toward the self, partners, and perceived (or actual) rivals? |
| RQ4.2 | How do the length and status of relational commitment affect the experience of SoMJ among individuals who are married, engaged, or dating casually? | |
| RQ4.3 | What is the prevalent influence of SoMJ on offline negative behaviors, such as monitoring or stalking? | |
| RQ4.4 | How does SoMJ influence an individual's post-relationship dissolution behavioral response? | |
| RQ4.5 | How, if at all, do SMPs affect an individual's experience of platonic forms (familial and peer) of jealousy? |
