摘要

因约会应用程序的出现和普及而产生的科学文献仍有一些重要的局限性。其中，特别关注某些群体（男男性行为者、大学生）而忽视其他群体的研究尤为突出。因此，本研究旨在分析中年异性恋者使用交友软件的特点，并特别关注男女之间的差异。共有 298 名年龄在 25 至 50 岁之间（男 = 37.67，女 = 6.99）的异性恋约会应用程序用户（女性占 41.3%，男性占 58.7%）完成了一系列在线问卷调查。发现中年人经常且大量使用约会应用程序。与女性相比，男性使用的约会应用程序更多，使用时间更长，更多用于随意性行为，每天使用的时间也更长。研究还发现，根据使用约会应用程序的时间和是否有伴侣，可以预测应用程序中出现的一些行为和关系。了解中年人使用约会应用程序的情况以及男女之间的差异，对于设计和实施预防策略以及从性别角度促进娱乐性和负责任地使用这些应用程序具有重要意义。

Dating app users: Differences between middle-aged men and women

The scientific literature generated as a result of the appearance and popularization of the use of dating apps still has some important limitations. Among them, the one that has focused particularly on some groups (men who have sex with men, university students) while ignoring others, stands out. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of dating app usage in middle-aged heterosexual people, paying special attention to the differences between men and women. A total of 298 heterosexual current dating app users (41.3 % women, 58.7 % men), aged between 25 and 50 years (M = 37.67, SD = 6.99), completed a battery of online questionnaires. Regular and intense use of dating apps was found in middle-aged people. Compared to women, men use more dating apps, have used them for a longer time, use them to a greater extent for casual sex, and for more time per day. It was also found that the time spent on dating apps and having a partner allowed for predicting some behaviors and relationships that arose in the apps. Knowing middle-aged people's dating app usage profiles and the differences between men and women will have relevant implications when designing and implementing preventive strategies and promoting these apps' recreational and responsible use from a gender perspective.
