Online Dating Service Use Motives Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses reasons individuals engage with online dating platforms and how those motives relate to their use patterns. The Online Dating Service Use Motives Questionnaire is intended for brief self-report evaluation in research or clinical intake contexts. It was developed by J. T. Cacioppo and E. T. Finkel.
The instrument includes 22 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Results from the Online Dating Service Use Motives Questionnaire are generally interpreted as indicators of the respondent’s primary motivational themes for using online dating services, supporting formulation or hypothesis generation rather than serving as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
