The construction of matches in dating platforms
New publication out with professor Runar Døving about how dating platform's matching machinery base their suggestion of 'good matches'. Key findings is that three platforms (Match, Møteplassen and Academic Singles) uses a model based on the persons' similarities along psychological and personal aspects, while one (Sukker) is based on a ‘the more similar along all kinds of axes' model. following a strict assortative mating model when creating matches is worrying, as similarity in these factors risks producing an increasing number of couples of equal status, which might lead to a larger gap between classes and reinforce their social status. Following in this line, all the platforms ignores well-known sociological and anthropological aspects for choosing a partner (hypergamy and homogamy principles). We speculate if this is due to the platforms using the psychological literature on partner preferences in their matching model, which mainly points to mate value (=the perceived degree of attractiveness from the opposite sex as a potential mate) as a key indicator when choosing a heterosexual partner, but because three of the four platforms are developed by IT-men - the male components in mate value (= attractiveness, youthfulness, figure, and body features which are uncontrollable qualities) is highlighted by the platforms, and not female's mate value components (= status, ambition, job prospects and physical strength, traits that can be controlled or achieved).
Other findings is that the platforms use characteristics to match people that are more important when being in a relationship, rather than prior to establishing one; all suffer from severe methodological weaknesses in the process of creating a profile; the platforms scientific claims for how their algorithmic machinery work is not convincing. The paper is available as open access in Nordic Journal of Science and Technology: https://lnkd.in/dJexAD39 #dating #platforms #digitalanthropology
