Tinder and visual identity: a UOC study reveals the nine types of user profile photos
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC)Choosing a Tinder profile picture seems like a free, personal and creative act. But to what extent is that true? A new study developed by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) reveals that, far from being unique, most users opt for one of a very limited number of visual strategies. The research, conducted by Alejandro García Alamán, a member of the CIRCLE Lab and course instructor at the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, identifies nine standardized types of profile that are systematically repeated on these kinds of platforms.
The study, based on an analysis of 1,000 real Tinder profiles in the Barcelona area, was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine and combines psychological methods with data analysis and machine-learning techniques.
