My name is Zoe Zaorski. I am a University of
California, Davis Student Researcher. I am currently getting my degree in
Psychology. My current project is to address the current gaps and
misconceptions in attachment styles, personality
traits, and types of intimacy regarding people that engage in online and offline dating. My goal
is to get an international representation.
I’ve discovered how little research there is comparing
online and offline daters. Through interactions with matchmaking and speed
dating companies, I’ve realized how much technology, phone apps, and online
dating sites have impacted the dating culture. Your participation in this study
will be valuable in understanding similarities and/or differences between
online and offline dating. Research on online and offline daters show that
those looking to marry have similarities and differences between these two
avenues of dating (Hitsch & Ariley, 2010). However there is still a lack of understanding
about what influences individuals regarding attraction while dating. Some areas needing more research involve
relationship styles and early-life influences (Feeney et al., 1990), as well as
influences for intimate relationships during adulthood. Personal experiences
are important to understand because they add to the person’s identity, and
shape behaviors that maybe influenced by societal expectations. A variety of
influences, both personal and family characteristics can shape expectations
about dating. Many research have looked at relationship styles, individual
characteristics, and intimacy of online and offline daters, but there appear to
be a lack of understanding in the relation between these three areas. My
specific research is an exploratory study and what I hope to achieve is to make
more information readily available for other researchers, relationship
specialists, and the general public. I value the effort and help in anyone who wishes to
participate, whether they are currently dating, in a relationship, or single. I
understand how very sensitive the information you may provide can be. Because
of the sensitive nature of this research, there are no questions that ask for
information regarding personal identity and/or computer identity. This research adheres to the standards established
by the University of California, Davis Internal Review Board (IRB), which has
strict rules on how the information of participants is handled. The survey is
100% anonymous and confidential. Prior to taking the survey you’ll be asked to
give consent. The contact details of myself and my co-principal
investor/mentor, Lisa Rapalyea, PhD are located in the consent form should you
have any questions. The consent form also informs you of your rights as a
participant. Please be sure to print out a copy of the consent form (or make a
screenshot) for your records. Here is the link to follow: http://ucdavis.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b1I3iR4zuPiNhop

I want to thank everyone that has participated in my survey! I will be closing it by the end of this week. If your survey is open and incomplete, now would be the time to complete it. If you have not participated but would like to, you have until the end of the week as well. Your help is much appreciated. Once analyses are made, I plan to share the results!
