Psychologische Effekte des Swipens auf Dating Apps
Recent publication
The research centre transitional psychiatry has examined the effects of swiping in dating apps on mental health. The study is based on social psychological theories such as the sociometer (Leary, 1995), the tyranny of choice (Schwartz, 2000), and the regulatory mode (Kruglanski, 2000). The results show that different swipe strategies can lead to an increased fear of being single and to feeling overwhelmed when choosing a partner. Marina Frederike Thomas, a postdoc in the research team, is the corresponding author for this paper.
