Concordia News recently published a piece on DIGS lab director Stefanie Duguay and her latest research on Tinder. The article discusses Prof. Duguay’s findings on Tinder’s “off-label use” in a paper published in The Information Society.
Tinder is a good example of how people use technology for far more than we think, Concordia researcher says
Duguay began her study with a thorough investigation of the Tinder app's design, looking at the mechanics its developers created in order to guide users for its intended purpose. She next looked at dozens of media articles about people using it for purposes other than social, romantic or sexual encounters.
Prof. Duguay also appeared on CTV Montreal to share her findings.
