Abstract

This study attempts to investigate the use of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) for purposes pertaining to the marital life among Egyptian youth, and to examine the relationships with demographic variables (gender and educational level), SNSs use, SNSs use for purposes pertaining to the marital life, attitudes towards the effects of these sites use on marital life, and perceived social presence on these sites among them. The current study is theoretically guided by social presence theory through a questionnaire survey administered to a convenience sample of 313 SNSs users who live in Egypt from August to September 2016. The results show that 79.2% of respondents use SNSs for purposes pertaining to their marital life, but only 17.9% of them reported that they would accept a marriage through SNSs. The findings also indicate that respondents' educational level has a significant impact on their perceived social presence and on their attitudes towards the effects of these sites use on marital life. Person correlation reveals that there is a significant positive relationship between respondents' SNSs use and their SNSs use for purposes pertaining to their marital life, and it also indicates that respondents' perceived social presence is associated with their SNSs use for purposes pertaining to their marital life.
