Abstract

Recent COVID-19 online dating research have investigated the strategies people used during the pandemic dating, however, the relationship between displaying health cues on online dating profiles and making online dating decisions has been understudied. A 2 (Profile Owner/Viewer’s Gender: Male vs. Female) x 2 (Smoking Status: Non-Smoker vs. Smoker) x 2 (COVID-19 Vaccination status: Not Vaccinated vs. Vaccinated) between-subjects online experiment (N = 250) was conducted to examine the impact of gender, smoking, and COVID-19 vaccination status on online dating decision. Results showed non-smoking profile owners were more likely to receive the video chat invitation compared with smoking profile owners. Male profile viewers were more likely to send message, video chat, meet offline, make short-term and long-term dating decisions toward profile owners compared with female profile viewers. Vaccinated females and unvaccinated males were more likely to receive the offline meeting invitation. An online dating profile owner’s perceived intelligence and perceived similarity would vary as a function of his/her vaccination status and smoking status. In addition, loneliness moderated the relationship between smoking/vaccination status and long/short term dating decisions. This study contributed to the literature of online dating and provided a roadmap for the online dating website designers.

在在线约会资料中显示健康提示：性别、吸烟和 COVID-19 疫苗接种情况如何影响印象和约会决定？

最近的 COVID-19 网上交友研究调查了人们在大流行病交友期间所使用的策略，然而，在网上交友档案中显示健康提示与做出网上交友决定之间的关系却没有得到充分研究。我们进行了一个 2（个人资料所有者/浏览者性别：男性 vs. 女性）x 2（吸烟状态：非吸烟者 vs. 吸烟者）x 2（COVID-19 疫苗接种状态：未接种 vs. 接种）的主体间在线实验（N = 250），以研究性别、吸烟和 COVID-19 疫苗接种状态对在线约会决策的影响。结果显示，与吸烟者相比，非吸烟者更有可能收到视频聊天邀请。与女性档案浏览者相比，男性档案浏览者更有可能向档案所有者发送信息、视频聊天、线下见面、做出短期和长期约会决定。接种疫苗的女性和未接种疫苗的男性更有可能收到离线会面邀请。在线约会档案所有者的感知智力和感知相似度会因其疫苗接种状况和吸烟状况而不同。此外，孤独感调节了吸烟/接种疫苗状况与长期/短期约会决定之间的关系。本研究为在线约会文献做出了贡献，并为在线约会网站设计者提供了路线图。
