Tinder Users Perceived as Less Trustworthy, Study Finds

PSYPOST - June 5 - People tend to view Tinder users as untrustworthy, according to new research from Germany. But the study in Computers in Human Behavior suggests that this anti-Tinder effect wears off over time. Tinder still has a reputation as a "hook-up" app. An initial online survey of 223 participants found that Tinder users were rated as less trustworthy than Parship users, who in turn were rated as less trustworthy than Facebook users.
