[Air-L] Request for Information Relevant to Online Dating within Student Populations

[Danielle Couch]

Dear Skaidra,

I did work in the area of online dating as part of my Master of Public
Health thesis, and then as part of a small subsequent grant.  I've had a few
publications out of this work - some on the findings and some based on the
methods. Details below. The reference lists in these publications will also
provide details on others publishing in the area.

Let me know if you have any issues accessing the publications. 

Kind regards,
Danielle Couch

Hello fello AOIR's,

Pleased to "meet" you all.

My name is Skaidra Puodziunas and I'm in 4th year as an undergraduate in an
innovative and atypical bachelor degree program of Knowledge Integration,
with a cross major in Speech Communication, at the University of Waterloo,
Ontario, Canada

This coming year, I will be working on my 4th year, senior thesis project. I
am planning to explore the world of online dating, specifically examining
the factors that are associated with students engaging in online dating
platforms, in my own university.

If anyone has any recommendations for journals, blogs, researchers,
institutes, etc. that could be relevant to this topic, I graciously welcome
them all! I consider this more of an exploratory project. I am (hopefully)
going to incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

Many thanks for your time,
Skaidra
