Product details

"The Structure of Digital Partner Choice" offers a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of online dating and examines how users leverage the technical and social possibilities of these platforms. The author, Andreas Schmitz, employs innovative methods such as click-stream observations and web survey data to analyze users' preferences, decisions, strategies, and interactions. Two central theories are referenced: an explicit theory of individual partner choice and Pierre Bourdieu's relational theory. These approaches highlight the social structures that both influence online partner selection and emerge from it. The findings reveal that online dating is not free from social structures; rather, the traditional conditions that exist offline are also reproduced in this virtual space. This contrasts with portrayals in the media and advertising, which often present an unrealistic picture of online dating.
