NEWSWISE — Jan 10 — Online dating, speed dating and other modern matchmaking techniques may seem less romantic than the arrows from Cupid’s quiver. It is a sign of the times, says Michele Adams, assistant professor of sociology at Tulane University. Michele Adams is working on two studies about contemporary dating. One study is about "speed dating;" the other examines online personal ads. FULL ARTICLE @ NEWSWISE
Mark Brooks: Academics would love to work with internet dating sites. The intelligence they reap from poring over your data can be very valuable to you. Make friends with some PhD students. Try MIT (Ariely), the University of Hertfordshire (Wiseman) and Queens University, Belfast (Whitty). I guess I should start a section on OPW for this resource. Do you know of any other academics I could reference?
“Do you know of any other academics I could reference? ”
Drs. James Houran, Ilona Jerabek, Steve Carter, Pepper Schwartz, Eva Klohnen, Helen Fisher, Glenn D. Wilson, Jon Cousins, Jeff Gavin, Marcel Zentner, Glenn Geher, Erica Spotts, Robert Kurzban, Jason Weeden, Franz Neyer, Elizabeth Paul, William Ickes, Sandra Murray, Dick Barelds, David Schmitt, David Bernard, Richard Gonzalez, Dale Griffin, David Kenny, Robert Sternberg and others.
There are lots of Scientific Papers about Theories of Romantic Relationships Development and Dyadic Success.
However results/findings/conclusions have been INCONSISTENT between them!!!
The problem with many of these Academics is: as they are so busy “researching or working or publishing papers to survive” not only they cannot read their colleagues’ publications but also they cannot read their previous papers.
When are they going to really understand that a collaborative environment is necessary to achieve new discoveries? like if temporal patterns of relationship variables may indeed play a significant role between mates / prospective mates.
