“…This point is supported by Stoicescu (2020), who argues that users' expectations of intimacy "are driven by a commercial technological product primarily designed for profit," which redefines the expected scenarios for forming new relationships. It is argued that it is the socio-structures developed by designers that have brought with them changes in dating practices (such as fast, but uncommitted interactions).…”

This paper analyses what makes young adults feel insecure when they use social media to socialise and connect with peers. 1 In a broader sense, the paper discusses what it means to grow up in a digitalised world with social media at the heart of youth life. The analysis is based on a two-year online ethnography conducted on Jodel, an anonymous location based social media app. The paper focuses on Jodel users' anonymous disclosures about their social media related insecurities -shedding light on discourses related to social media practices that are often hidden or neglected in interview studies.The analysis finds that it is often the affordances of the platforms or design choices of apps such as Instagram, Snapchat or Tinder that lead to feelings of insecurity or uncertainty in relational maintenance or in the forming of new relationships. Because of the platforms, young adults sometimes find it difficult to know why peers behave like they do online, resulting in unfounded worries and feelings of insecurity.

Online dating apps created opportunities for adults to connect and initial romantic intimacy, especially during the global pandemic of COVID-19. But the perspective of young adults in Malaysia remains unclear. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was applied in this research to discover determinants of online dating apps' adoption intention among young adults in Malaysia. For this purpose, possible determinants that might affect the intention to adopt online dating apps are sought and critically reviewed. With reference to the model, the variables proposed in this research include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and an additional variable -trust. Five hypotheses were constructed based on the proposed variables. Questionnaires were distributed to young adults to obtain valid primary data from respondents. Limitation was found in this research is the approach to collecting data causing the participants to overlook the questionnaires. Besides, restriction was found in the demographic profile of the respondents. The study might not accurately reflect Malay and Indian individuals' adoption intentions. The responses collected determine the adoption intention of young adults towards online dating apps within Malaysia only. This research contributes to the debate among online dating apps developers.

“…Teknologi telah memengaruhi interaksi sosial dalam banyak hal, salah satunya terkait kemudahan dan percepatan laju kehidupan. Begitu juga aplikasi kencan online Tinder yang mampu mempersingkat waktu pembentukan hubungan sekaligus menjadi ruang/media praktik interaksi sosial yang mampu memberikan pengguna akses ke banyak pasangan potensial dengan pengoperasian yang nyaman dan mudah (Gatter & Hodkinson, 2016;Rosa, 2003;Stoicescu, 2020). Perubahan ini tidak hanya tentang lokasi pertemuan, namun juga dalam gaya hubungan, perkembangan, dan retaknya hubungan romantis (Hetsroni, 2019;Navarro dkk., 2021).…”

ABSTRAK Aplikasi Tinder memberikan pengguna kemudahan dengan fitur-fitur yang ditawarkan, misalnya terkait kemudahan mengakhiri hubungan dengan ghosting. Bagi ghostee, ghosting menjadi pengalaman pemutusan hubungan yang paling tidak diinginkan. Namun, beberapa studi menemukan ghostee yang juga melakukan ghosting dan membenarkan perilakunya. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan eksplanatori untuk mengetahui hubungan moral disengagement dan kecenderungan perilaku ghosting dalam kencan online Tinder; dan eksploratori untuk menguji peran variabel gender dalam hubungan kedua variabel penelitian. Penelitian ini melibatkan 70 emerging adult (18-25 tahun) pengguna Tinder. Pengumpulan data menggunakan skala moral disengagement (α= 0,921) dan skala kecenderungan perilaku ghosting (α= 0,840). Hasil menunjukkan hubungan positif moral disengagement dan kecenderungan perilaku ghosting yang signifikan. Terdapat pula perbedaan kekuatan hubungan yang signifikan antarvariabel dimoderasi oleh gender (f2 = 0,783), dengan efek moderasi yang lebih tinggi pada laki-laki. Hasil ini dapat menjelaskan mengapa ditemukan ghostee yang menilai ghosting tidak pantas juga dapat melakukan ghosting.
