(2020) PSPR14 20192Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Studiens syfte var att undersöka unga kvinnors upplevelser av att genom dejtingappen Tinder försöka inleda kärleksrelationer. Urvalet bestod av åtta kvinnor i åldrarna 23–27 år, vilka alla hade använt Tinder i syfte att dejta romantiskt. Datainsamling skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. I studien användes en tematisk analys med fenomenologisk ansats där fenomenet i fokus var romantisk tinderdejting hos unga kvinnor. I studiens resultat presenterades åtta teman utifrån deltagarnas upplevelser: utbytbarhet, intensitet, Tinders plats i verkligheten, ovisshet, att använda andra i själviska syften, beroende, att vara kvinna på Tinder samt självutveckling och självkänsla.

I studien användes en tematisk analys med fenomenologisk ansats där fenomenet i fokus var romantisk tinderdejting hos unga kvinnor. I studiens resultat presenterades åtta teman utifrån deltagarnas upplevelser: utbytbarhet, intensitet, Tinders plats i verkligheten, ovisshet, att använda andra i själviska syften, beroende, att vara kvinna på Tinder samt självutveckling och självkänsla. Resultatet visade att fenomenet inbegrep en hög omsättning i dejtingrelationer, brist på tydliga regler och normer på appen, många avvisanden, en
ökad fokusering på de egna behoven samt en upplevelse av att vara utbytbar. En hög upplevd känsla av kontroll påverkade upplevelsen av att tinderdejta positivt. Diskussionen belyste fenomenet romantisk tinderdejting hos unga kvinnor utifrån individfokuserad psykologisk teori och samhällsomspännande sociologisk teori. Slutsatsen var att fenomenet både kan ses som ett symptom på en individualiserad tid
och som en konsekvens av en app som genom sin utformning förändrar människors sätt att relatera till varandra. (Less) - Abstract
- The aim of the present study was to explore young women’s experiences of attempting to initiate romantic relationships through the dating app Tinder. The sample consisted of eight women between the ages of 23 and 27 years, who all had used Tinder for purposes of romantic dating. Data collection was achieved through semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis grounded in a phenomenological approach was used to thematize the phenomenon “romantic tinder-dating among young women”. The result of the present study consisted of eight themes based on the participants’ experiences: replaceability, intensity, Tinder’s position in reality, uncertainty, using others for selfish purposes, addiction, being a woman on Tinder, and self-esteem and...

The result of the present study consisted of eight themes based on the participants’ experiences: replaceability, intensity, Tinder’s position in reality, uncertainty, using others for selfish purposes, addiction, being a woman on Tinder, and self-esteem and self-development. The result displayed a high turn-over in dating relationships, a lack of clear rules and norms within the app, a high number of rejections, increasing regard to one’s own needs and the experience of being replaceable. A high perceived sense of
control made the experience of tinder-dating more positive. The discussion highlighted the phenomenon by use of psychological individual-focused perspectives and sociological theory regarding society as a whole. The conclusion was that the phenomenon can be seen both as a symptom of our individualistic age and as a consequence of how the Tinder app changes how we relate to one another. (Less)
