- The study focuses on how older adults (ages 40-54) used dating apps during the UK lockdown (Dec 2020 - May 2021) amid the COVID-19 pandemic, an area less explored in existing research.
- Key themes identified include the moral complexities around dating during a pandemic, the role of self-surveillance and moral signaling, and the impact of loneliness and social isolation.
- Findings suggest that dating apps served as a means to alleviate loneliness, with some users rationalizing risky behaviors in pursuit of intimacy.
