Dr. Aditi Paul and the college hookup culture, dating apps & sexual outcomes

Is all the media surrounding college "hookup culture" accurate?  Do people mostly meet online or IRL?  Is there any difference with international students?

 

With a wealth of knowledge under her belt, Dr. Paul and I sit down to see if we can figure out what's really going on out there and what, if anything, we can all do to help.  Join us for a fun conversation to see if we can help unlock love! 

 

Dr. Paul has published many studies including:

- Is Online Better Than Offline for Meeting Partners? Depends: Are You Looking to Marry or to Date?

- Swiping for Sex: Identifying Factors that Predict US-based College Students’ Likelihood of Using Location-based Mobile Dating Applications for Hook-ups

- Does Online Dating Promotion Vary Across Cultures? A Cross-cultural Analysis of Homepage Advertisements of Online Dating Services in 51 Countries

 

After looking at all the data, she compiled her thoughts into her latest book, "The Current Collegiate Hookup Culture: Dating Apps, Hookup Scripts, and Sexual Outcomes." - Find her book here.
