@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 During the survey portion of our interview, we found that many participants didn't grow up around a stable relationship. This led to many saying that they preferred to get married later in life, which we found surprising.

@mikemandell23 @Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 Great question! We would want to hone our research more to focus on our generation, as opposed to accepting a broad range of data from different age groups.

This was an incredibly interesting project to conduct, and we could absolutely look at this through multiple angles.

@rennlor @COMMethods297 Thank you! Yes, online dating can be difficult to find a real relationship. Lots of people get many matches and they find it hard to keep up with messaging. Thank you for your response!

[COM 297 @COM297Research]

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 Some of our responses from the interviews conducted uttered the same sentiment you shared with us.

Thank you for your reply!

[COM 297 @COM297Research]

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 Yes! For our archival research we found lots of tweets for our topic, people expressed their raw feelings.

@BrennakMooney @COMMethods297 This is an interesting point. When we interviewed people and did our survey we did not ask about dating during covid. That would be an interesting topic to research. Thank you for your response!

[COM 297 @COM297Research]

@TeamBeWell297 @COMMethods297 Excellent question, while these dating apps seem to be designed around the idea of allowing people to find relationships, we did not find any evidence in the interviews conducted that these apps were beneficial for the pursuit of a relationship.

Thank you for your reply!

[COM 297 @COM297Research]

@BunkerJosie @COMMethods297 Due to the increased use of dating apps these results were expected by our group. Thanks for your response!

[COM 297 @COM297Research]

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 We used a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most a participant would agree with a statement, and 1 being the least someone would agree with this statement.

Thank you for your reply!

[COM 297 @COM297Research]

@BunkerJosie @COMMethods297 Yes we were also shocked with the results! It shows how our generation values relationships differently than other generations. Thank you for your response!

@COMMethods297 10/10 We enjoyed researching the effect that hookup culture and dating apps have on relationships. Implementing the research methods was challenging, but we are satisfied with the results of our research. Thank you Dr. Thomas for your help! #COMference297 #hookupculture #genz

@COMMethods297 9/10 With our research we discovered many overarching themes that relate to our archival data ranging from finding love, sexual experience to disliking dating app culture, common problems with hookup culture and many more .#COMference297 #hookupculture #genz #datingapps
