Hookup apps, such as Tinder, have become vastly popular among college students, and hookup culture has become more normatively acceptable. The current study seeks to understand the associations of hookup app uses and outcome variables including sexual attitudes, relationship turbulences, and risky sexual behaviors. The current study conducted an online cross-sectional survey among participants (n = 654) from a large public university. The results showed that hookup app users reported significantly more favorable attitudes toward sexual permissiveness and instrumentality, less favorable attitudes toward birth control, more relationship anxiety, and more relationship avoidance, compared to nonusers. Furthermore, structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that more hookup app uses were associated with more favorable attitudes toward sexual permissiveness and instrumentality, more risky sex, and higher relationship turbulence. The practical implications and suggestions for future research were discussed.
诸如Tinder之类的约炮应用程序在大学生中极为流行，约炮文化在规范上也变得更可接受。当前的研究旨在了解约炮应用程序的使用与包括性态度、恋爱动荡和危险性行为在内的结果变量之间的关联。当前的研究对一所大型公立大学的654名参与者进行了在线横断面调查。结果显示，与非用户相比，约炮应用程序用户对性放纵和性工具化表现出明显更积极的态度，对节育的态度则不那么积极，恋爱焦虑更多，恋爱回避也更多。此外，结构方程模型（SEM）显示，更多地使用约炮应用程序与对性放纵和性工具化更积极的态度、更多的危险性行为以及更高的恋爱动荡相关。文中还讨论了实际意义以及对未来研究的建议。
