Abstract: Online dating is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. However there is a dearth of research investigating online dating in New Zealand. The research presented here explores the prevalence of online dating in New Zealand, examining motivations, attitudes and outcomes associated with online dating Study 1.
It also investigates mate selection in an online dating context using a simulation of the popular mobile dating app, Tinder Study 2. In Study 1, students from Victoria University of Wellington completed a survey developed by the author along with scales measuring individual differences on ideal standards and sociosexual orientation. As predicted, Study 1 found that online dating is prevalent in this sample especially using Tinder , attitudes towards it were generally positive, and those using it more were more likely to be single, more sociosexually unrestricted, and rate physical attractiveness as more important in potential partners.
Study 2 investigated the use of Tinder more specifically through an experimental simulation of this mobile dating app.
