Abstract
The article is devoted to the psychological aspects of online dating services usage and tools to study the motives of such services users. A theoretical analysis of Russian and foreign studies of online dating services users was carried out. The analysis showed that the general research interest is related to the personal characteristics of users and their self-presentation strategies in such services. Among foreign researchers, it is common to study the characteristics of sexual behavior and motivation of users as well as their perception of the confidentiality of data provided to such services. There were no Russian-language works on the problem of motives for online dating services using. Due to the lack of Russian-language tools the Tinder Motives Scale methodology developed by E. Timmermans, E. de Kaluwe was selected for adaptation. A Russian-language adaptation and verification of the psychometric properties of the technique was made on a sample of 3540 (2255 male, aged 18 to 60+). This allowed us to offer a valid and reliable, shortened (from 58 to 22 points) and modified Russian-language version of the methodology for diagnosing the motives for online dating services using. The scale “Material motivation” was added. Scales “Flirting / communication skills development”, “Travel” “Belonging to a group”, “Pressure of friends”, “Search for people with the same sexual orientation”, “Distraction from business” and “Curiosity” were not confirmed.
本文致力于在线约会服务使用的心理方面和工具来研究这些服务用户的动机。本文对国内外在线约会服务用户的研究进行了理论分析。分析表明,普遍的研究兴趣与用户的个人特征及其在此类服务中的自我呈现策略有关。在国外研究人员中,通常会研究用户的性行为特征和动机,以及他们对提供给此类服务的数据保密性的看法。没有关于使用在线约会服务动机问题的俄语著作。由于缺乏俄语工具,由E. Timmermans, E. de Kaluwe开发的Tinder动机量表方法被选中进行改编。对3540名(2255名年龄在18岁至60岁以上的男性)的样本进行了俄语改编和该技术心理测量特性的验证。这使我们能够提供一个有效和可靠的,缩短(从58分到22分)和修改的俄语版本的方法,用于诊断在线约会服务使用的动机。增加“物质动机”量表。“调情/沟通技巧发展”、“旅行”、“属于一个团体”、“朋友的压力”、“寻找同性取向的人”、“从工作中分心”和“好奇心”等指标未得到证实。
