CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter include the introduction, statement of the problem, scope and limitation,
significance of the study, theoretical background, conceptual framework and definition of terms.
Introduction
As the world became more influenced with high technology. People are more likely to interact
using their mobile phones. Facebook is the number one that the younger generations often used as a
tool for socializing. In the Philippines, there are 27,054,000 users as of 2012 which made it as number
8 in the rankings of users in the world. Because of the free access of the app, they can freely chat,
upload or even post what's on their mind, many of whom spend a several hours a day in this site.
Social media is a form of electronic communication, through which users create online
communities to share information, ideas, personal messages and other content. Social media is a new way
to send a letter with a fast speed, it also helps you to express your feelings in a way that you can feel relax.
In addition with that, social media are not necessarily for relaxation only. Based on the study
conducted by Ellison, Steinfield and Lampe (2007) which examined the relationship between use of
Facebook, a popular social media application site. They concluded that "online interactions do not
necessarily remove people from their offline world but may indeed be used to support relationships and
keep people in contact, even when life changes move them away from each other."
IV
Because of high technology, young generations tend to forget the essence of social media and
they become more stick with the site. They become less conscious and taking someone's identity are now
on everyone's nature, specifically they are students. 9 out of 10 of every users are using someone's
identity, yet they are not aware that this is illegal.
Now, with the increasing growth of technology, romantic partners can express their relationship
online for essentially everyone they know to see.

social media relationship are created. This can also help the young generations to understand that being in
a free site isn't free. The purpose of this study is to explain the experience of the young generation in the
discourse of social media relationship.

The Language and discourses in social media relational dynamics is the theoretical proposition that
suggest that social media are communicatively constituted, just as are relationships; thus, rational
dynamics in social media that feature written communications should be analyzed through the study of
actors’ language and discourses (Valentini, Romenti & Krukeberg, 2016)

Solis (2005) This study is a novel examination of the conflicting perspectives on technology’s
implications for mobile romance. Proposes a framework for understanding computer-mediated
relationships based on three main factors: (1) The characteristics of participants and nature of their
romantic relationships; (2) Level of intimacy that is achieved through mediated communication;
(3) Technology distinct contribution to the formation of these relationships. The study’s primary
finding is that romantic relationships initiated and maintained through texting are capable of
developing into higher levels of intimacy.
XII
Solis (2007) This study examined the use of mobile phones and the relational context being
created through this wireless messaging system and also the contributions of the texting
technology that allowed development of romantic relationships among its users. Other researchers
argue that texting has made it possible to create new unsurveilled and unconventional human
relationships.
Foreign
Collins (2003) This research has been impeded by erroneous assumptions that adolescent
relationships are trivial and transitory. This article proposes that distinguishing five features of
romantic relationships is essential to describing adolescents’ relationships and their developmental
significance such as involvement, partner selection, relationship content, quality and cognitive &
emotional processes. Research is needed to illuminate questions of how and what conditions
romantic relationship affect individual development and jointly influence developmental
trajectories during adolescence.
According to the study of Walsh, Wolak and Mitchell (2003) the purpose of this research
was to explore characteristics of youth who reported close relationships with people they met
online. One in ten adolescents reported a close relationship; relationship with adults and many of
these were teens who had an online relationship. The great majority of youth were not afraid or
uncomfortable during face-to-face meetings and it was common for parents to know of meetings.
XII
According to Anderson and Emmers-Sommer (2006) One hundred fourteen individuals
involved in online romantic relationships who had only engaged in computer-mediated
communication (CMC) with their relationships. They examined predictors of relationship
satisfaction for individuals involved in online romantic relationships. Intimacy and trust were
found to be the strongest predictors depending on relationship length and time spent
communicating.

According to Hand, Thomas, Buboltz et al. (2013) Online social networks such as facebook
have gained immense popularity and potentially affect the way people build. This study found a
negative relationship between intimacy and the perception of a romantic partner’s use of online
social networks. Additionally, it was found that intimacy mediates the relationship satisfaction.
Papp, Danielewicz and Cayemberg (2012) This study examined male and female dating
partners. Facebook use and portrayals of their intimate relationship on the facebook profile. Male
and female reports of having disagreements over the facebook relationship status was associated
with lower level of females’ but not males’ relationship satisfaction. Results from this study
encourage continued examination of technology use and behaviors in contexts of intimate
relationship.

Foreign
According to McWilliams and Barrette (2012) Rising numbers of single middle-aged and
older adults encouraged a proliferation of online dating websites. However, few studies examine
aging adults’ involvement in online dating. This study examine how aspects of their online
expectations and experiences are shaped by age and gender. Analyses reveal that men’s seek
committed relationship whereas women’s desire companionship without demanding caring roles
and face narrow social networks.
Malt (2007) This research was inspired by two stereotypes: First, older adults don’t do
computers and don’t do sex, they are asexual. The sample consisted of older adults who had all
used the internet to meet potential romantic partners through their online discussion groups or via
online dating. A proportion enjoyed flirting online with others and committed relationships was
just as compelling an activity for these older adults as for younger internet users.
Underwood and Findlay(2012) This study explored the formation of romantic relationships on
their internet, nature and their possible impact on existing marital relationships. Most reported,
more satisfaction with their online relationship than with their face-to-face one, though few said
that it was more important to them than their primary relationship. Those participants reported
concealing the truth about the time or nature of their activities.
