Year: 2020
Type: preprint
Abstract: The broad research questions of this study are: - Does the use of metaphors and puns in online dating profiles affect impressions that are formed about the profile owners’ attractiveness and dating intention and do personality perceptions mediate this relationship? - Do online daters accommodate to the use of metaphors and puns in dating profiles of others by using metaphors and puns in their response messages? - Is the degree of accommodation in response messages to metaphor and pun use in dating profiles moderated by the profile owner’s perceived attractiveness?
