The document summarizes various research studies conducted by the authors to investigate whether online dating sites reinforce or diminish traditional heteronormative gender roles, including an online survey, interviews on OkCupid, in-person interviews, and developing a new "comparative storyboarding" method. Analysis of the data found that men typically send a high volume of short introductory messages, while women receive many messages and must filter through them, and that perceptions of modern dating involve more casual initial encounters than previous generations experienced.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.

Experiment on eye witness testimonies thea, jody, rahc, pennieJody Evans
The students conducted an experiment on eyewitness testimony, replicating a study by Loftus and Palmer. They showed participants a video of a car accident and gave them a questionnaire with questions about details from the video. One critical question was worded differently between conditions - asking some participants if they saw "any broken glass" and others if they saw "the broken glass". Contrary to expectations, participants asked about "any broken glass" were more likely to say they saw broken glass, even though there was none. The students hypothesized this may have been due to an imbalance between male and female participants in each condition.

Facial Attractiveness and Perception PosterElisha Yacono
The document describes a study that explored whether facial attractiveness affects people's perceptions of others during online chat conversations. 32 participants viewed either an attractive or unattractive photo of a woman and then had a 10-minute chat with her. They then rated her likeability. Results showed those who viewed the attractive photo rated the woman as marginally more attractive and significantly more friendly and approachable. No other significant differences emerged in ratings between conditions. The study suggests that while facial attractiveness may slightly influence some first impressions during online interactions, the engaging chat may have focused participants more on the conversation than appearance.
This document outlines a proposed documentary titled "Here & Queer" that will discuss how homosexuals are perceived in society and the effects on young homosexuals. It will include interviews with people of different ages and backgrounds to show different views on this debated topic. The filmmakers have researched similar documentaries for inspiration and plan to interview students, teachers and people on the street to represent various perspectives.
This document provides an introduction to a research project exploring expressions of desire in the context of online dating applications. It begins with an overview of the motivation for the research, which stemmed from the author's personal experiences using online dating apps after a relationship ended. The research examines how desire is expressed and modified through "mediated texts" exchanged on these platforms. It outlines the theoretical frameworks drawn from, including psychoanalytic perspectives on desire, as well as methodologies used like interviews and action research. The introduction concludes by situating the research within the field of contemporary art and outlining the structure of the exegesis.

Competing predictions derived from cognitive-developmental theory and social
learning theory concerning sex-linked modeling were tested. In cognitive-develop-
mental theory, gender constancy is considered a necessary prerequisite for the
emulation of same-sex models, whereas according to social learning theory, sex-
role development is promoted through a vast system of social influences with
modeling serving as a major conveyor of sex role information. In accord with
social learning theory, even children at a lower level of gender conception emulated
same-sex models in preference to opposite-sex ones. Level of gender constancy
was associated with higher emulation of both male and female models rather
than operating as a selective determinant of modeling. This finding corroborates
modeling as a basic mechanism in the sex-typing process. In a second experiment
we explored the limits of same-sex modeling by pitting social power against the
force of collective modeling of different patterns of behavior by male and female
models. Social power over activities and rewarding resources produced cross-sex
modeling in boys, but not in girls. This unexpected pattern of cross-sex modeling
is explained by the differential sex-typing pressures that exist for boys and girls
and socialization experiences that heighten the attractiveness of social power
for boys.

DiscussionWhen analyzing the collected data from the participan.docxelinoraudley582231
Discussion
When analyzing the collected data from the participants, it was concluded that you cannot determine a person’s personality traits based off of their music preference. When I ran correlations on the data received I found that there was no significance between music preference and personality. The fact that there is no significance means that my null hypothesis, “a person's music preference cannot describe their personality,” cannot be rejected. My p-values, the probability of observing a certain effect, were all greater than .05 which means there is no significance between the data being analyzed. I believe that I have gotten a type II error when analyzing the data.
A type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is not rejected when it should be. The past research I found all have proven that personality and music preference are related. Study 2 of Rentfrow and Goslings 2006 research revealed that “individuals’ music preferences convey consistent and accurate messages about their personalities.” (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2006, p.241.) Also, the research done by Schwartz and Fouts, they found that “The pattern of findings indicates that each of the 3 music preference groups is inclined to demonstrate a unique profile of personality dimensions and developmental issues.” (Schwartz and Fouts, 2003, p. 212.) These findings lead me to believe that even though my results did not come to this same conclusion that I still cannot reject my hypothesis. I believe one main reason for this happening is the small sample size used to collect data. Typically, the larger the sample size the more likely the results will be statistically significant and not just have occurred by chance. Smaller populations usually result in not being statistically significant. The studies I researched all had large sample sizes and because of this I think having a large sample size would have proven my hypothesis.
There would be need for a future study to be done to prove my hypothesis. For the future study I would need to gather data from a much larger sample size. Also, when collecting the data, I would rewrite the survey to gather the information a little differently. When collecting the participants’ responses for their most preferred music style, I would have them make a list of their top five music types ranked in order from most like to least liked, similar to the way Rentfrow and Gosling did in their research study “Message in a Ballad,” completed in 2006. They had their participants create “a preliminary list of their top-10 favorite songs, providing for each song the title, the band’s or artist’s name, and the music genre. Pilot testing revealed that creating a top-10 list without warning is a difficult task. So to increase the likelihood that targets created lists truly representative of their favorites, we gave them an additional week to think about their selections. They returned 1 week later to finalize their top-10 lists.” (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2006,.
The participant's research into horror film audiences was biased due to limitations in their sample. Most participants were females aged 17-18, contradicting findings that males generally enjoy horror more. To improve, the participant should have provided multiple choice answers rather than open-ended questions, making the data easier to analyze. Overall the questions were appropriate but could have been structured better, such as using tick boxes instead of free responses, to obtain clearer results.
Gender based social reactions powerpointBethannie216
The study aimed to test whether a person's reaction to an unexpected request depends on the gender of the person making the request. A male and female experimenter each approached 10 people and asked to borrow their cell phone. Contrary to the hypothesis that females would receive more favorable responses, the results showed that people seemed more willing to help the male experimenter than the female experimenter. The small sample size may have impacted the results, and further studies with more experimenters and a larger sample were suggested to get more conclusive results.
The filmmaker attracted their target audience (demographic groups E and D) through realistic scenes that allowed audiences to think deeply into the antagonist's mind. Low key lighting and locations helped audiences relate to the ideas presented. A central prop, like the puppet in Saw, gave audiences something to focus on and engage with. The characters followed Propp's character theory involving a villain the audience could feel hatred towards. Audience research through film synopses and questionnaires helped choose an obsessive stalker narrative and female lead to make audiences feel more sympathetic. Sharing the draft widely online through YouTube and social media attracted a broader target audience and allowed the filmmaker to improve the film based on varied feedback.

This study tested the relationship between gender and knowledge fabrication. 24 subjects (12 male, 12 female) were paired and asked a series of 12 questions, including 3 factually incorrect questions. The results showed that men engaged in knowledge fabrication 21% of the time they spoke, while women did so 7% of the time. Additional measures found that women used more nonverbal cues and that men generally had higher self-esteem about their knowledge compared to women. The study aimed to further research on the relationship between gender and lying or knowledge fabrication.
- The study examined how an interviewer's gender influences children's assignment of gender to toys and games. 11 children aged 3-5 were interviewed by either a male or female interviewer.
- When asked to categorize known neutral games, most children said they were for both boys and girls. However, 80% said football was only for boys.
- For unknown neutral games, some children assigned the gender based on the interviewer's gender, while others said both genders.
- All female participants chose a female undergraduate to play with, while most male participants chose someone of their own gender.
Teresa Artola: "Boys and girls creavity: Qualifatived differences in divergen...Elisabeth Vierheller
This study explored potential differences in divergent thinking between males and females. It analyzed data from 1,377 subjects across various age groups. The results showed that females generally outperformed males on verbal creativity tasks, while males performed better on graphical tasks. Younger children showed more pronounced differences between sexes compared to adults, for whom few differences were found. The study concluded that males and females approach creativity tasks qualitatively differently, and standard identification procedures may underestimate some gifted individuals based on gender. Educators should consider these differences when assessing and promoting creativity.
This study examined whether a person's need for sex predicts their comfort with casual sex and likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviors. 111 participants completed online questionnaires measuring their need for sex, views on casual sex, and sexual history. Higher need for sex correlated with more unrestricted views of casual sex and a higher frequency of risky sexual encounters. However, there was no significant interaction between the three measures. The findings suggest an individual's need for sex can impact their psychology and behaviors regarding casual and risky sex, which has implications for understanding hazardous sexual behavior.
This study analyzed whether people can subconsciously detect the sexual orientation of others based on facial features alone. 43 students viewed photos of faces and rated them on attractiveness and sexual orientation. The results showed that gay participants were better at detecting homosexuality in their own gender, while straight females were better at detecting homosexuality in males. Both gay and straight participants tended to rate faces of straight individuals as more attractive. This suggests people may have unconscious awareness of others' sexual orientation based solely on facial features.
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 60 participants about documentaries. It found that 60% of participants were male, most were students aged 16-19. Participants came from across Birmingham. Most stated they watched documentaries, including reality shows, and watched about once a week. The majority preferred participatory documentaries and watched at night. When asked about topics of interest, health was the most common answer. This led the group to select health as the topic for their documentary.

DiscussionWhen analyzing the collected data from the participan.docxelinoraudley582231
Discussion
When analyzing the collected data from the participants, it was concluded that you cannot determine a person’s personality traits based off of their music preference. When I ran correlations on the data received I found that there was no significance between music preference and personality. The fact that there is no significance means that my null hypothesis, “a person's music preference cannot describe their personality,” cannot be rejected. My p-values, the probability of observing a certain effect, were all greater than .05 which means there is no significance between the data being analyzed. I believe that I have gotten a type II error when analyzing the data.
A type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is not rejected when it should be. The past research I found all have proven that personality and music preference are related. Study 2 of Rentfrow and Goslings 2006 research revealed that “individuals’ music preferences convey consistent and accurate messages about their personalities.” (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2006, p.241.) Also, the research done by Schwartz and Fouts, they found that “The pattern of findings indicates that each of the 3 music preference groups is inclined to demonstrate a unique profile of personality dimensions and developmental issues.” (Schwartz and Fouts, 2003, p. 212.) These findings lead me to believe that even though my results did not come to this same conclusion that I still cannot reject my hypothesis. I believe one main reason for this happening is the small sample size used to collect data. Typically, the larger the sample size the more likely the results will be statistically significant and not just have occurred by chance. Smaller populations usually result in not being statistically significant. The studies I researched all had large sample sizes and because of this I think having a large sample size would have proven my hypothesis.
There would be need for a future study to be done to prove my hypothesis. For the future study I would need to gather data from a much larger sample size. Also, when collecting the data, I would rewrite the survey to gather the information a little differently. When collecting the participants’ responses for their most preferred music style, I would have them make a list of their top five music types ranked in order from most like to least liked, similar to the way Rentfrow and Gosling did in their research study “Message in a Ballad,” completed in 2006. They had their participants create “a preliminary list of their top-10 favorite songs, providing for each song the title, the band’s or artist’s name, and the music genre. Pilot testing revealed that creating a top-10 list without warning is a difficult task. So to increase the likelihood that targets created lists truly representative of their favorites, we gave them an additional week to think about their selections. They returned 1 week later to finalize their top-10 lists.” (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2006,.
The participant's research into horror film audiences was biased due to limitations in their sample. Most participants were females aged 17-18, contradicting findings that males generally enjoy horror more. To improve, the participant should have provided multiple choice answers rather than open-ended questions, making the data easier to analyze. Overall the questions were appropriate but could have been structured better, such as using tick boxes instead of free responses, to obtain clearer results.
Gender based social reactions powerpointBethannie216
The study aimed to test whether a person's reaction to an unexpected request depends on the gender of the person making the request. A male and female experimenter each approached 10 people and asked to borrow their cell phone. Contrary to the hypothesis that females would receive more favorable responses, the results showed that people seemed more willing to help the male experimenter than the female experimenter. The small sample size may have impacted the results, and further studies with more experimenters and a larger sample were suggested to get more conclusive results.
The filmmaker attracted their target audience (demographic groups E and D) through realistic scenes that allowed audiences to think deeply into the antagonist's mind. Low key lighting and locations helped audiences relate to the ideas presented. A central prop, like the puppet in Saw, gave audiences something to focus on and engage with. The characters followed Propp's character theory involving a villain the audience could feel hatred towards. Audience research through film synopses and questionnaires helped choose an obsessive stalker narrative and female lead to make audiences feel more sympathetic. Sharing the draft widely online through YouTube and social media attracted a broader target audience and allowed the filmmaker to improve the film based on varied feedback.

This study tested the relationship between gender and knowledge fabrication. 24 subjects (12 male, 12 female) were paired and asked a series of 12 questions, including 3 factually incorrect questions. The results showed that men engaged in knowledge fabrication 21% of the time they spoke, while women did so 7% of the time. Additional measures found that women used more nonverbal cues and that men generally had higher self-esteem about their knowledge compared to women. The study aimed to further research on the relationship between gender and lying or knowledge fabrication.
- The study examined how an interviewer's gender influences children's assignment of gender to toys and games. 11 children aged 3-5 were interviewed by either a male or female interviewer.
- When asked to categorize known neutral games, most children said they were for both boys and girls. However, 80% said football was only for boys.
- For unknown neutral games, some children assigned the gender based on the interviewer's gender, while others said both genders.
- All female participants chose a female undergraduate to play with, while most male participants chose someone of their own gender.
Teresa Artola: "Boys and girls creavity: Qualifatived differences in divergen...Elisabeth Vierheller
This study explored potential differences in divergent thinking between males and females. It analyzed data from 1,377 subjects across various age groups. The results showed that females generally outperformed males on verbal creativity tasks, while males performed better on graphical tasks. Younger children showed more pronounced differences between sexes compared to adults, for whom few differences were found. The study concluded that males and females approach creativity tasks qualitatively differently, and standard identification procedures may underestimate some gifted individuals based on gender. Educators should consider these differences when assessing and promoting creativity.
This study examined whether a person's need for sex predicts their comfort with casual sex and likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviors. 111 participants completed online questionnaires measuring their need for sex, views on casual sex, and sexual history. Higher need for sex correlated with more unrestricted views of casual sex and a higher frequency of risky sexual encounters. However, there was no significant interaction between the three measures. The findings suggest an individual's need for sex can impact their psychology and behaviors regarding casual and risky sex, which has implications for understanding hazardous sexual behavior.
This study analyzed whether people can subconsciously detect the sexual orientation of others based on facial features alone. 43 students viewed photos of faces and rated them on attractiveness and sexual orientation. The results showed that gay participants were better at detecting homosexuality in their own gender, while straight females were better at detecting homosexuality in males. Both gay and straight participants tended to rate faces of straight individuals as more attractive. This suggests people may have unconscious awareness of others' sexual orientation based solely on facial features.
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 60 participants about documentaries. It found that 60% of participants were male, most were students aged 16-19. Participants came from across Birmingham. Most stated they watched documentaries, including reality shows, and watched about once a week. The majority preferred participatory documentaries and watched at night. When asked about topics of interest, health was the most common answer. This led the group to select health as the topic for their documentary.

Stealth attraction for mens gets her with your wordsichettrisagar95
My article gives a set of techniques used by men to subtly and effectively attract women without overtly displaying their intentions. It involves using non-verbal cues, body language, and subtle psychological tactics to create intrigue and build attraction. The goal is to appear confident, mysterious, and charismatic while maintaining an air of mystery that piques the interest of the person you are trying to attract. This approach emphasizes subtlety and finesse in communication and interaction to create a powerful and lasting impression.
1. Modern Dating in
an Old-Fashioned
World
A look at heterosexual gender roles
in the online dating landscape
Rickles, Fagergren, Voyk, Gadzala
2. 02 Gadzala, Fagergren, Voyk, Rickles 2014
SUMMARY OF FIELD WORK
Summary of
Fieldwork
In our quest to discover if the modern
nature of online dating sites enforces or
diminishes old fashioned, hetero-normative
gender roles, we collected data using 5
different research studies. Over the course
of three weeks, we deployed a survey, eight
“micro-interviews” via OkCupid messenger,
four genealogical analyses, two full length
in-person interviews, and a new research
method we are calling “Comparative
Storyboarding”.
Our online survey was filled out by 27
participants. The survey had 16 questions and
was passed out on facebook and OkCupid.
Our sample population was 37% male and
63% female. In our sample population,
81% identified as being heterosexual, 7%
identified as being bi-sexual, 7% identified
as being homosexual, and 4% (one person)
declined to answer. Our results uncovered a
mix of quantitative and qualitative data that
helped us become familiarized with our user
population and chosen age group. These
results helped us generate insights and
formulate questions for the more in-depth,
one-on-one methods.
Three of the researchers (Julia, Jeff, and Steve) signed on to the
free dating website OkCupid.com to get to know the space and
understand how it functions. They were upfront in their profiles about
being on the site for research purposes, and were surprised to find
many people volunteering to by participants without any solicitation.
To capitalize on this opportunity, we decided to incorporate “micro
interviews” with this population. Julia performed 6 micro-interviews
and Steve performed 2 from his existing account. Aside from the micro
interviews, we noticed off the bat that Julia received an incredible
amount of views (143 in the first 24 hrs) and Jeff received around 9, this
began to give us a look into male and female activity on this site.
From Julia’s willing OkCupid.com volunteers (52 inquiries) she
selected one male as a candidate for an in-person one-on-one
genealogical analysis (which was conducted for 1 hour over coffee),
and recruited another male for the genealogical analysis, interview,
and “Comparative Storyboarding” session. Steve conducted two one-
on-one genealogical analyses with females recruited from OkCupid.
com (one was conducted over the phone, another was conducted
over coffee) and recruited another female for he genealogical analysis,
interview, and “Comparative Storyboarding” session.

SUMMARY OF FIELD WORK
Two of our recruits, whom we will call “female
subject 1” and “male subject 1”, were invited
to the School of Informatics and Computing
at IU on Friday, April 15th at 12:00pm for
an interview, genealogical analysis and a
comparative storyboarding session. The
team split the next two hours as follows:
1. Female Subject 1 was paired with Jeff
and Julia for a genealogical analysis and
interview session for 45 minutes. This
session was recorded and photographs
were taken while the researchers took
notes.
2. Male Subject 1 was paired with Emma
and Steve for a genealogical analysis
and interview session (with the same
questions) for 45 minutes. This session
was recorded and photographs were
taken while the researchers took notes.
3. At 12:45pm, we introduced Female
Subject 1 and Male Subject 1. All four of
the researchers were present for the
“Comparative Storyboarding Method”,
which the subjects completed as a team.
The researchers took notes, video, and
photographs of the session.
4. At the completion of the session, the
subjects were each compensated for
their time with a Starbucks gift card for
$10.
At the conclusion of all of our field studies, we met as a team to
discuss insights and engaged in an affinity diagramming session to
triangulate results.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW METHOD: COMPARATIVE STORYBOARDING
Development of
the New Method:
Comparative
Storyboarding
We wanted to develop a method that let us
gain insight into the participant’s attitudes
and mental models regarding dating. We
brainstormed different ways of doing this,
and got excited about doing something
related to storyboarding. We had a hunch that
letting participants play around and express
themselves with images could present a way
of discovering attitudes and mental models
that did not emerge during regular interviews.
In line with this, we also decided to pair up
a man and a woman for the activity, in the
hope of sparking discussion around the topic.
We wanted to see if the opinions differed
between the sexes.
In preparation for the activity we put together
a collection of images. Most images could
be interpreted as relating to dating and
gender roles; however, we intentionally
kept most images ambiguous and open to
interpretation, as not to dictate the story the
participants could tell. For example, if an
image of a car was included, it was presented in a neutral context and
without passengers. In line with this thinking, a few images could be
seen as completely random, such as pictures of a clownfish or dogs in
silly clothes.
The images were printed out and presented to the participants
together with some complimentary tools. These included post-it notes,
printed speech bubbles, scissors, white paper to write/sketch on,
pens and markers, and a men’s fashion magazine in case participants
wanted to cut out additional images.
During the activity we instructed the participants to first use the images
– however they saw fit – to create a story about how they think that
their grandparents generation dated and then how people today date.
We asked them to specifically focus on the first stage of dating, such
as who asked out whom, what the date was like, what the result was,
etc. Since one of our participants stated that “I’m not a visual person”,
we had to ensure them that the purpose was not to create a beautiful
collage, but to use the images as a means to tell the story.
We filmed the entire session and took close-up photos in order to
capture interaction and the emerging narratives.
Keywords: Attitudinal, qualitative, innovative, exploratory,
observational.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW METHOD: COMPARATIVE STORYBOARDING
Storyboard One: “Create a story about how you think
your grandparents generation dated”
Storyboard Two: “Create a story about how you think
people today date”
First got rid of condoms (the female
subject noted how many children her
grandparents have) and things they
did not understand.
The easily decided to have the couple meet
on OkCupid and decided they were both “hot
narcissists”
The couple in this scenario met at a bar for a
drink, they asserted this was low key and a
typical place for people on OKC to meet. The
clock represents “three weeks” passing without
contact and the male, drunk on wine, texts the
female at 3am (speech bubbles).
The couple reunites in the middle of the night and
has lots of sex with condoms. For the conclusion,
our female subject asserted “maybe if they’re really
lucky they’ll get married... or desperate”.
“Men definitely asked women out!” They decided the couple went out to a coffee,
then a movie, the male always paid.
The end of their relationship was easy for the
team of subjects to complete. Without prompting
they decided that the hypothetical couple would
get married.

SUMMARY OF THE DATA ANALYSIS
Summary of the
Data Analysis
The survey data and genealogical analyses
produced similar results and several
of the insights confirmed our previous
assumptions:
1. Men send the bulk of the first messages,
“playing the numbers game”
2. Women have a full inbox which forces
them to respond more than initiate
3. Sending messages have little
consequence
We discovered that the bulk of these first
messages are often short messages with no
content- “hey you” “how r u?” Also, due to
the lack of consequence attached to these
messages, there were some intro messages
that were very sexual / vulgar in nature. This
attention given to women varied in our survey
data and on the low end a female would
receive 10 to 20 views on any given week
however there were at least three women
that reported to have in excess of 200+.
Contrasting that with the responses from the
males, the high end was around 10 views per
week.
What was interesting was that through the survey data that we
gathered, women in general preferred to be pursued and courted, yet
there were two female respondents that said their current relationship
started by initiating the message.
The storyboarding activity produced interesting results, our two
subjects worked together to form two timelines. Both the modern
dating timeline and the grandparent’s dating timeline were assembled
with minimal arguments between subjects, though, there was some
hesitation. The grandparent’s timeline predictably involved more dates
and in the words of the male subject “the dude paid for everything”
though the courting process was considerably longer. The point
of contention during this drew from both personal accounts as our
female subject made the claim that people “back then” did not sleep
around that much, whereas the male’s response was “My grandfather
got around back in the day.” But they finished the storyboard with a
wedding dress to imply marriage and a picture of the family.
The modern day storyboard involved fewer steps as it started with
meeting online then a quick exchange of selfies. It progressed to a bar
for drinks then sex and the follow dialogue was exchanges:
Male subject: “then they don’t see each other for three weeks, then he
drunk texts her in the morning”. (Everyone agrees that this is “so true”)
Female subject: “I think we demoralized our generation”.
The storyboarding activity did show that this modern generation
of dating has a perception of being more causal in the beginning
of a relationship and less courting is involved as opposed to the
grandparent’s generation.

SUMMARY OF THE DATA ANALYSIS
Summary of the
Data Analysis,
cont.
After affinity diagramming our data, we
sketched out how typical male and female
experiences of OkCupid differed.
For females, it looked as follows:
1. Create profile
2. Receive tons of messages in inbox
3. Filter messages based on: 1) content, 2)
looks, 3) match %
For men, it looked like this:
4. Create profile
5. Check out female’s profiles.
6. Choose who to message based on: 1)
looks, 2) content, 3) match %
7. Write a message that is either: “spam”,
“efficient/quirky”, or “thoughtful” (if
thoughtful, reference back to receivers
profile content).
Based in research findings, we conclude that this results in:
• Women getting spammed, resulting in mixed feelings of flattery
and irritation over too many “hey baby” messages. It also lets
women be picky about who they reply to.
Men with more “serious” or “genuine” intentions have a hard time of
getting their signal (well-intended message) though the noise (spam).

DESIGN IDEATION
Icebreaker
In real life, people can strike
up spontaneous conversations
around things that peak their
interest. This concept aims at
facilitating these kinds of “ice
breaker” interactions in an online
dating setting. Users can click on
any element on someones profile
and the system lets them strike up
a conversation with that particular
topic as a starting point.
Rationale: This concept grew from
the research finding that many first
messages come off as impersonal
“spam”. Having a first message
being related to something on
your profile lets you know that the
sender spent at least a minimal
amount of time interpreting what
you put there. It provides a talking
point, and it is also a support for
people who are unsure of what to
say in a first message.
“Creepiness”
Filter
A design critical of the
paid features (“Body Type”
and “Attractiveness”) on
the popular dating site
OkCupid, the “Creepiness”
filter pulls feedback from
interactions with users. For
instance, during chat, when
a correspondent is reported,
their creepiness factor
goes up. Online daters can
visualize the creepiness of
the people they are matched
with on the “Browse
Matches” page.
Rationale: From our first
hand experiences on the site
and with our interviews, we
decided to design something
to respond users who are
not good matches.
9. 09 Gadzala, Fagergren, Voyk, Rickles 2014
Conversation
Currency
Implication: Make it easier for
people with genuine intentions to
get their “signal through the noise”
and increase trustworthiness
Description: This concept limits
the amount of messages that male
users can send out, and would
replenish after a fixed amount of
time. So if a male user could only
send out two messages per week,
this would require him to be more
selective. Females would have the
ability to send unlimited messages
and this model would hopefully
encourage more females to initiate
contact.
Rationale: When Alice from OKC
first reaches out she tells you:
“Take the initiative: You’ll
get better results if you send
messages to people who
interest you. We’ve studied this
extensively; women who make
the first move end up with better-
looking and more desirable
matches. We can’t emphasize this
enough.”
DESIGN IDEATION
Spam for Spam
Implication: Make people less
jaded from receiving spam
messages
Description: Whenever a male
user sends a message that
very clearly a ‘copy and paste’
message that he will send to every
girl on the site, or just a generic
“hey, how r u?”. The system would
then detect this and respond by
sending that user an advertising
message designed to fill up his
inbox with messages that are not
worth his time. The idea here to
reverse the experience of the
flood of messages female users
receive.
Rationale:
“It’s hard to feel anyone is worth
your time online”
-Female Subject 1
“You can move quick, get in lots of
messages with little investment”
-Male subject 1
10. 010 Gadzala, Fagergren, Voyk, Rickles 2014
Smart-watch -
Match Detection
Implication: Make interactions
feel more organic and less
planned.
Description: Designed for social
settings, this smart-watch would
enable users of OkCupid to
receive a proximity alerts base off
of their profiles. So for instance
the two users would receive
an alert stating an “87% Match
nearby” and because this pulls
from the profile data, they know
they are both single, and allows
for conversation to begin. This
streamlined approach would be
OkCupid’s response to Tinder.
Rationale:
“Tinder is cooler than okcupid.
Everyone is on tinder”
-online survey participant
“Online dating is a great way to
get in the same room as people
you may not otherwise encounter.”
-online survey participant
DESIGN IDEATION
Sadie Hawkins
Event
Implication: Let men experience
being pursued / encourage
women to send first
Description: Local businesses can
sponsor social meet-up events
through OkCupid. For instance-
Soma sets up a social event that
requires a female to invite a male.
Soma then uses that invitation for
admission for the female, and like
wise the male must present his
invite to gain access to this event.
Rationale:
“I sent the first message to the
person I am in a relationship with
now. In fact, I think most of the
people I’ve actually gone on dates
with I sent the first message”
-online survey participant

Online Dating
101: PSAs
Implication: Create a more
accepting and comfortable
community
Description: This would be a
two part strategy that would
draw attention to these types
of “introductions” by way
of youtube videos showing
how this would sound in real
life. These videos would be
used in a campaign to raise
awareness and reduce this
kind of behavior. It would
initially target high school
seniors in the form of a course
on online etiquette. The
second phase would be an
intro video for new website
users and “punishment” to
those users who have been
flagged for inappropriate
content.
Rationale: Our survey
asked “what is the strangest
message you have received?”
We received the following
responses:
“You have huge boobs,
wanna meet up tonight?”
“Do you have daddy issues?”
Will you kick me in the crotch?
“no message but just a picture
of his dick without even a “hi”
first”
“I’m looking for a submissive
gal”
Online Dating
with Google
Glass
Implication: Increase
transparency
Description: Users of Google
Glass can integrate their OkCupid
account and it would then be able
to use facial recognition to detect
active members of the site. Once it
detects the account, it will quickly
show the user a list of Pros and a
list of deal-breakers. This would
be beneficial for singles who
are looking for a particular set of
qualities in a mate.
Rationale:
“Online dating is for efficiency, you
can be more critical”

Reject or Reply
Implication: Reject or reply with
ease
Description: This concept expands
upon the traditional message filters.
Typically you have the option to
block / report or reply to a message.
This new filter would combine
this into a “rejection” tab. With the
rejection tab, you can politely reply
“thanks but I’m not interested”
or if you received an insincere
message you can have a preset
sarcastic denial, or in the case of
the obscene, you report them to
Okcupid.
Rationale: People hide behind
their screen names, and because
of that are less afraid to send awful
messages.
Group Date
Implication: Groups of singles can meet
by physical proximity and interests
Description: We’ve all gone out with
friends hoping to meet people, but it
doesn’t always pan out so easily. This
design is a system that would link groups
of friends together by proximity. Other
factors would be number in group, sexual
preference, interests, age, etc- anything in
common would prompt the users and they
could see their commonalities to spark
initiating conversation.
Rationale: A major difference from
pursuing someone online versus in person
is the setting, which includes the lack or
bounty of people around you. In Julia’s
Micro Interview with golden_god92, they
discussed the fact that:
In person you have your friends around
your to get you into or get you out of a
situation [of pursuing the opposite sex].
Online, you’re a lone wolf.

Date Model
Implication: Make it easier for
people with genuine intentions to
get their “signal through the noise”
and increase trustworthiness.
Description: Involving your cell
phone if you are on a first date with
someone you met from the site, the
phone app would be able to detect
another user (in this case your
date), and both phones would give
the prompt to go into “Date Mode”
which would then silence your
phone settings so that you would
not be disturbed
Rationale: In order to increase your
offline trustworthiness, this feature
would automatically respect the
other person’s time.
New Filters
Implications: Make people
less jaded from receiving spam
messages.
Description: Added to the
basic profile creation process of
OkCupid, these filters will allow
the user to set levels of quality
control for the messages they
receive. Features added would
be a minimum word count for a
message, filter longer messages
so they go toward the top, and
reject any message below a
certain match percentage. Finally
this gives the user the ability to
create a “profile quiz” which is
simply a question that must be
answered before the message is
sent.
Rationale: In order to make
people more likely to stay on
the site, this give them more
control over what messages they
received.
“I’ve gotten some pretty rude
ones (especially when I didn’t
respond to their first message)
one guy told me to kill myself
and that my attitude of thinking
people were lower than me
wouldn’t get you far. Not
necessarily strange, but pretty
terrible.”
