Abstract
Guided by the uses and gratifications theory ( Katz et al., 1973 ) and the goals-planning-action model of interpersonal influence ( Dillard, 1990 ), two studies are presented to examine aspects of Dating app communication. Study 1 ( N = 526) investigates proximal relations between a personality trait and motives and motives and behavioural intent. Study 2 ( N = 200) further probes elements of study 1 in a new sample and investigates new personality traits to motives. Collectively, these studies provide an initial look at and explain the relations between personality traits, motives and behavioural intent, which advance understanding of Dating app use from an interpersonal communication perspective. Implications, limitations and future directions are also discussed.
