Sociologists: What kind of questions would you ask about online dating?

Asked by LeavesNoTrace (5674points) October 13th, 2011

Hi Jellies,

I’m doing a research project on the social construction of online dating and how it relates to a consumer culture for a sociology class.

I specifically want to explore how people who date online relate to a culture of instant gratification, convenience, “McDonalidzation” etc.

If I decide to make a survey, what kind of questions should I ask to help extract usable data? Keep in mind that I have to be ethical and of course, can’t “prompt” people to answer a certain way using subversive tactics…
