Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

In this thesis, I aimed to understand how sociosexuality, sex, and dating app type interact to predict the frequency of dating app usage among college students. This was done by using two cross-sectional samples at two different universities to investigate this. I anticipated the presence of a three-way interaction between sex, sociosexuality, and the type of dating app to predict dating app usage. The results showed that there was no three-way interaction. However, as predicted, men who score low on sociosexuality will use dating apps less than men who score high on sociosexuality. Furthermore, it was shown that women reported relatively low dating app usage regardless of sociosexuality scores. These findings may be especially important to dating app companies, so they can adjust how they market the apps in addition to assuring maximum user satisfaction. Further, non-heterosexual individuals should be studied to expand the current research, as it can be applied to more dating applications.
