Abstract
Aims: The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate using self-report measures if the intensity of online dating app usage had a psychological impact on user's mental well-being and self-esteem. Prior findings have focused on the impact of social networking sites on users' mental well-being and self-esteem, but little research has focused solely on the psychological effects of using online dating app. Method: Participants (n= 76) within this study were required through convenience sampling where they were instructed to complete an online survey. Results: Through Pearsons correlation analysis no significant results were discovered between the intensity of dating app usage and its impacts on mental well-being and self-esteem. Conclusion: Despite the fact this study did not produce a significant association between the intensity of dating app usage and its effects on individuals' mental well-being and self-esteem, it can be seen as groundwork for future studies investigating the psychological implications of excessive dating app usage.
