PSYPOST – A new study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that having more dating options may actually increase commitment and dating motivation rather than reduce it. In two experiments, participants who selected matches from 31 profiles showed greater interest in pursuing relationships than those choosing from only six profiles. Researchers said the larger pool helped users feel they had found more compatible matches, challenging the common theory that dating apps create “choice overload” and make people less willing to commit.
