Abstract

While there has been a surge in popularity of online dating, the current polarized political climate in the U.S. may influence how online daters select a desired partner. The present study examined the relation between political affiliation, partner preferences, and gender beliefs with a sample of 373 online dating users. Democrats (n = 196) showed stronger preference for an intimate partner of the same party compared to Republicans (n = 90). Democrats (particularly women) also identified that having a different political affiliation as a deal-breaker more so than Republicans. Regarding gender role beliefs, Republicans (particularly men) showed significantly higher traditional gender role beliefs than Democrats. However, gender-based differences were not observed among Democrats; both Democratic men and women showed equally less traditional gender role beliefs compared to Republican women and men. Implications for dating prospects, particularly for Republican men, are discussed.

政治分裂时期的美国网上约会：政治派别、性别角色观念和伴侣偏好之间的关联

虽然网上交友的受欢迎程度急剧上升，但美国当前两极分化的政治气候可能会影响网上交友者选择理想伴侣的方式。本研究以 373 名在线约会用户为样本，研究了政治派别、伴侣偏好和性别观念之间的关系。与共和党人（90 人）相比，民主党人（196 人）对同党亲密伴侣的偏好更高。与共和党人相比，民主党人（尤其是女性）更认为政治派别不同会破坏交易。在性别角色观念方面，共和党人（尤其是男性）的传统性别角色观念明显高于民主党人。然而，在民主党人中没有观察到性别差异；与共和党男女相比，民主党男女的传统性别角色观念同样较低。本文讨论了这对约会前景的影响，尤其是对共和党男性的影响。
