MIRAGE NEWS - Mar 5 - Research by Western Sydney University and the University of Sydney has found people using swipe-based dating apps experience especially higher rates of psychological distress and probable depression than non-users. Whilst 40% of current or past users felt that swipe-based dating apps had a positive impact on their self-esteem, current dating app users were two and half times more likely to report psychological distress and twice as likely to report probable depression. The online survey of 437 Australians compared the impact of dating habits on the mental health of both swipe-based dating app and non-app users.
