Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of the use of digital media, a novel behavioral pattern has emerged that
could potentially affect interpersonal relations. The aim of the current research study was to investigate the
relationship between doomscrolling behavior, cognitive ruminations, conflict resolution styles, and marital
satisfaction levels among young married couples. A quantitative research design with a descriptive and
correlational approach was adopted for the research study. A sample of 120 married couples between the
ages of 21-35 years were selected for the research study through the purposive sampling technique.
Standardized research instruments were administered to collect the research data from the sample
participants. These research instruments we re the Doomscrolling Scale, Ruminative Responses Scale-
Short Form, Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory, and the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale. SPSS
software was used to analyze the research data. To conduct the correlation analysis, Spearman's rank
correlation coefficient test was applied due to the non -normality of the research variables.
The findings revealed that doomscrolling was significantly and positively related to cognitive rumination,
while cognitive rumination was significantly and negatively related to marital satisfaction. Positive conflict
resolution style was positively related to marital satisfaction, while negative conflict style was negatively
related to marital satisfaction. Doomscrolling was not significantly directly related to marital satisfaction.
The findings suggested that cognitive processes and interpersonal processes like conflict resolution style
play a more significant role in predicting marital satisfaction than digital processes like doomscrolling.
