摘要

移动约会应用（MDA）在亲密接触中很受欢迎，但浪漫的拒绝很常见，并且可以利用社交媒体的信息进行监控。意识暗示传达了有关他人活动的数字信息，但它们与拒绝的联系尚未得到充分研究。本研究探讨了意识提示在移动约会应用（mda）中与拒绝、社交监控和后数字安全相关的用途。通过对8名不同性别和性身份的参与者进行为期1个月的日记研究，我们确定了一种意识提示语法，可以帮助用户解释他人的意图，管理关系不确定性（例如，重隐）和导航拒绝。虽然意识提示传达了有用的信息，但它们也使用户暴露在社会监视甚至跟踪之下。由于“隐身模式”是大多数mda的高级功能，参与者开发了创造性的隐身策略来限制对社会监督机制的访问。

‘Now you’re home’: Awareness cues, rejection and post-digital safety on mobile dating apps

Mobile dating apps (MDA) are popular for intimate encounters, but romantic rejection is common, and can drive surveillance using information from social media. Awareness cues convey digital information about others’ activities, but their link with rejection is underexplored. This study explores the uses of awareness cues in mobile dating applications (MDAs) in relation to rejection, social surveillance and post-digital safety. Using a 1-month diary study with eight participants of diverse gender and sexual identities, we identify a grammar of awareness cues that helps users interpret others’ intentions, manage relational uncertainty (e.g. ghosting) and navigate rejection. While awareness cues convey helpful information, they also expose users to social surveillance or even stalking. Since ‘incognito mode’ is a premium affordance on most MDAs, participants developed creative invisibility strategies to restrict access to social surveillance mechanisms.
