A lawsuit filed on Valentine's Day claims that several popular dating apps are"psychologically manipulative" and"addictive," encouraging"compulsive" use by people on the platforms.
Ultimately, what's going on in the brain when someone feels compelled to keep swiping on Tinder or scrolling on TikTok does look similar to what's happening when someone experiences physical addiction to a substance, said Larry Rosen, a professor emeritus of psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills and co-author of"The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World" .
"I hesitate to act like users don't have a sense of control or determination over the technology, at the end of the day," she told Live Science."That's not to say users are totally in control when they're using technology, or that there isn't a way to hold tech companies accountable." Dating apps are particularly motivated to keep users swiping, Coduto agreed. Without users, there is no dating pool. Without a dating pool, there is no dating app, she said.
Compulsive use of appsMany people do struggle with compulsive use of all kinds of apps, said Dr. Brett Kennedy, a psychologist and the co-director of the Digital Media Treatment & Education Center in Boulder, Colorado.
