Evaluating the Privacy 和 Security Perspective of Older Adults Towards Online Dating

The use of online dating applications has become increasingly popular among younger populations, but older adults aged 65 和 above are also engaging in this practice. 然而, the provision of personally identifiable information (PII) required by these applications raises serious privacy 和 security concerns, particularly for older adult users who are more vulnerable to online abuse 和 scams. This research aims to investigate the implications of these challenges in older adults' use of online dating applications. The approach involves mixed methods research, including a survey-based crowdsourcing experiment 和 semi-structured interviews with older adults who have used online dating applications. The survey-based experiment will seek to collect quantitative data on older adults' attitudes towards privacy 和 security. The semi-structured interviews will explore older adults' experiences 和 perspectives on privacy 和 security in greater depth. The expected results will provide insight into the privacy 和 security challenges faced by older adults, including their attitudes towards sharing PII 和 experiences with online abuse 和 scams. This research will also explore potential solutions for mitigating these risks, including the development of tools 和 interventions to enhance privacy 和 security in online dating applications. 最终, this research can contribute to the development of safer 和 more secure online dating applications for all users. It should be noted that this research is still in progress, 和 we are currently working on building out the surveys to be sent out to the participants.
