Drawing on Sexual Script Theory, this project explores the multi-layeredways in which young people are using mobile dating applications andhow this is reconfiguring gender and sexual scripts. Sexual Script Theoryprovides the conceptual apparatus to interpret how competing moderncultural artifacts continually shape metaphorical sexual and genderscripts. This research will build upon the existing body of work whichhas used Sexual Script Theory, but will also employ insights fromScience and Technology Studies in order to also explore the impactstechnologies can have in the formation of the diverse meanings and usesof the sexual.Despite the proliferation of mobile dating applications, it is only recentlythat literature has started to address mobile dating applications as a distinctsocial phenomenon, and predominantly among gay male populations. Thisproject is interested in building on this newly emerging body of literature,as to my knowledge little or no research has been conducted whichexplicitly looks to understand the ways heterosexual users interact withmobile dating applications to reconstruct or reconfigure gender and sexualscripts.Using qualitative interviews with men and women from a variety of socioeconomicand ethnic backgrounds, this research will gather experiences,from adults, regarding their use of mobile dating applications, with theintention of understanding further their impact on the socially and sexuallyscripted nature of motivation of use, self-presentation strategies,authenticity management and perceived risks of using mobile datingapplications.

该项目以性脚本理论为基础，探索了年轻人使用移动的约会应用程序的多层次方式，以及这是如何重新配置性别和性脚本的。性脚本理论提供了一种概念工具来解释现代文化产物如何不断地塑造隐喻性和性别脚本。这项研究将建立在使用性脚本理论的现有工作的基础上，但也将采用来自科学和技术研究的见解，以探索技术在性的不同含义和用途的形成中可能产生的影响。尽管移动的约会应用程序激增，但直到最近，文献才开始将移动的约会应用程序作为一种独特的社会现象，主要是在男同性恋人群中。这个项目是建立在这个新兴的文学机构的兴趣，因为据我所知，很少或根本没有研究已经进行了明确的方式，以了解异性恋用户与移动约会应用程序的互动，以重建或重新配置性别和sexualscripts。使用定性访谈的男性和女性从各种社会经济和种族背景，这项研究将收集经验，从成年人，关于他们使用移动的约会应用程序，目的是进一步了解他们对使用动机的社会和性脚本性质的影响，自我展示策略，真实性管理和使用移动的约会应用程序的感知风险。
