Hot or Not? Implicit and Explicit Attitudes of Sexualized Profiles on Tinder.
Research on dating applications relies heavily on explicitly measured evaluations of potential partners; however, the quick swiping mechanism of Tinder and other popular dating applications may rely on more spontaneous evaluations. We asked heterosexual U.S. undergraduates (n = 135) to rate opposite-gender Tinder profiles using both an implicit reaction time task and explicit self-report. Men had more positive implicit evaluations of sexualized profiles compared with women. Men also showed an implicitly measured preference for sexualized profiles over nonsexualized profiles, while women showed the opposite preference. However, the genders did not differ in evaluation of sexualized or nonsexualized profiles in explicitly measured evaluations. This study highlights the value of using implicit measures when conducting research on mobile dating.
期刊介绍:
Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking is a leading peer-reviewed journal that is recognized for its authoritative research on the social, behavioral, and psychological impacts of contemporary social networking practices. The journal covers a wide range of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, internet gaming, and e-commerce, and examines how these digital environments shape human interaction and societal norms.
For over two decades, this journal has been a pioneering voice in the exploration of social networking and virtual reality, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for professionals and academics in the field. It is particularly celebrated for its swift dissemination of findings through rapid communication articles, alongside comprehensive, in-depth studies that delve into the multifaceted effects of interactive technologies on both individual behavior and broader societal trends.
The journal's scope encompasses the full spectrum of impacts—highlighting not only the potential benefits but also the challenges that arise as a result of these technologies. By providing a platform for rigorous research and critical discussions, it fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology and human behavior.
