Abstract

Technology enabled dating has revolutionized the manner in which people seek new relationships. The aim of the present study was to explore a few essential psychological aspects related to online dating among a sample 240 young adults (120 users and 120 non-users of dating apps) between the age of 20-30 years.

A between groups design was employed to check for any differences between users and non-users of dating apps and also gender differences with respect to the aforementioned variables. Furthermore, a correlational design was implemented to ascertain the predictors of relational functioning among users and non-users of dating apps.
