Instructions for the study

This study will be taking place over the course of a month. After you complete the initial survey (which will be completed in the lab) you will receive 4 more surveys by email. By participating, you can earn a chance to win a $25 AmEx gift card.

1) The first survey will ask you general questions about your dating application usage along with general questions about your dating life. This is the longest survey you will be asked to take and should not take more than 15 minutes.

2) The second survey will ask you questions about how you use dating applications (e.g., Tinder). In order to best complete this survey, please complete it immediately after you use a dating application. Be conscious of how many times you swipe left or right when using the dating app, along with the different aspects of other user’s bios you take into consideration. If you do not currently use a dating application, please complete the survey anyway (there is an option to click so you won’t have to complete any questions that are irrelevant to you). This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete.  

3) The next survey you will receive is a pre-date survey. This survey is to be taken just before you go on any form of date or meet up, including going on an official date or simply meeting up for drinks, or going to their house, or a party, to hook up, etc. Any form of romantic or sexual interaction qualifies as a date. This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

4) The next survey that will be a post-date survey that will ask you about your experiences on your date or meet up. This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

We will ask you to fill out the pre-date and post-date surveys every time you meet up with someone new in a dating/hookup context or have any form of romantic or sexual interaction with someone.

5) You will receive the final survey about a month after you begin this study. The survey will ask you about your current status with anyone person you met during the study period. This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

Again, if have any questions pertaining to this study please contact Dylan Selterman or Sydney Gideon through sunydreams@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest!
