Love on the line: The social dynamics involved with people meeting other people using New Zealand online dating sitesMarsh, Maureen Margaret January 2007 (has links)
The intention of this thesis is to explore whether New Zealand trends in online dating parallel those identified by overseas studies, or whether patterns are emerging that are unique to New Zealand society. The Internet Windows Messenger instant messenger service (MSN) was used to interview 32 subjects about their experiences with online dating, covering areas such as motivation for using online dating; types of relationships sought; barriers to online dating; online rapport and offline chemistry; online infidelity; and managing 'difference'. Drawing on these responses, this thesis presents findings pertaining to a diverse group of New Zealanders' attitudes towards and uses of online dating. Some of the key findings show that online rapport does not guarantee offline chemistry; that there are gender differences in attitudes towards appearance, age, and receiving sexually explicit material online; and that sexual experimentation and infidelity are being facilitated through online dating. The issue of 'difference' as it relates to online dating has been largely neglected by overseas researchers, and for this reason was extensively included in this research. Key findings relating to 'difference' show that there is a clear split between those interviewees whose 'difference' impacted positively on their online dating experience (those with sexual 'difference' falling into this category), and those whose 'difference' impacted negatively (those with physical or mental 'difference'). In addition, those interviewees with a sexual 'difference' have been able to connect with other like-minded people through online dating, contributing to the 'normalization' of previously considered deviant behaviours. Based on the research presented in this thesis, it appears that New Zealand online dating activities are consistent with overseas trends, although there are indications that some behaviour may be more specific to New Zealand society, such as gender differences in relation to bisexuality, and covert same-sex encounters involving men who are either married or who state in their profiles that they are 'straight' or heterosexual.

A lot of these things nobody talks about: South Asian Muslims' perceptions of dating behaviours and abuseCouture, Amanda 01 July 2011 (has links)
The unique meanings people of varying cultures and religions assign to dating
behaviours/abuse along with the context in which these meanings are created are largely
neglected in dating abuse research. Applying intersectionality, I examine understandings
of dating behaviours/abuse from the perspective of South Asian Muslims in Canada. To
unravel the context in which these perceptions are formed, I use intersecting
characteristics that emerged as themes in 11 qualitative interviews, which include:
individual identities, influences of South Asian Muslim and mainstream Western
cultures, and personal perceptions of dating. The majority of participants used religion,
cultures, and nations as identifiers, perceived their communities to be opposed to dating,
and felt pressure to date stemming from Western society. I argue that these intersect to
shape their personal perceptions of dating and the meanings and significance of dating
behaviours/abuse, which revolved around: significance of exposure and sexual
behaviours, control, relationship attachment, and psychological behaviours/abuse. / UOIT

Does the Gender Inequality Index Explain the Variation in State Prevalence Rates of Physical Teen Dating Violence Victimization?Gressard, Lindsay A. 11 May 2012 (has links)
Purpose: When the prevalence of physical teen dating violence (TDV) victimization is examined at the state level, significant variation exists; the prevalence ranges from 7.4% in Oklahoma and Vermont to 17.8% in Louisiana. Using U.S. states as the unit of analysis, this study sought to determine whether gender inequality is a societal level risk factor for TDV victimization.
Method: Data measuring physical TDV victimization were obtained from the 2009 YRBS. To measure the level of gender inequality in each state, the Gender Inequality Index (GII) was calculated using the procedure described in the United Nations’ Human Development Report. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the association between TDV victimization, the GII, and the indicators of the GII.
Results: Of the 40 states included in analyses, the GII was significantly associated with the state prevalence of both total TDV victimization (r=.323, p=.042) and female TDV victimization (r=.353, p=.026). Subsequent to removal of the outlying case of Oklahoma, the GII was also significantly associated with male TDV victimization (r=.366, p=.022). Several individual GII indicators were significantly associated with TDV victimization after removing the outlying case. Ordinary least squares regression was used to create a model for TDV victimization and gender inequality.
Conclusion: This is the first study to examine societal level gender inequality as a risk factor for state level TDV victimization using nationally representative data on school youth. As policy-makers implement TDV prevention policy at the state level, further research understanding potential macro-level risk factors is particularly important.

Explorative study of African Americans and internet datingSpates, Kamesha Sondranek 17 February 2005 (has links)
The online dating industry is estimated to be worth 1.5 billion dollars. The growing
trends in technology have resulted in African Americans logging on to the Web at
astonishing rates. Therefore, the goal of this research project is to evaluate dating
orientated interaction in the context of virtual communities. The theoretical perspective
of this thesis is that of the concept of trust, and I examine the role that trust has on dating
oriented interaction in the context of virtual communities. This study utilizes both
ethnographic qualitative research methods along with the survey research method to
explore the topic of African Americans and their use of the Internet as a tool to find
quality or compatible dates. This study also provides an examination not only of
dating patterns among African Americans via the Internet, but it also provides an
examination of the role that technology plays in creating and mediating dating trends. An
additional interest is to evaluate dating orientated interaction in the context of virtual
communities.
