How can we have a healthy relationship with dating apps?

Dr Alessandro Biraglia, Associate Professor of Marketing, features on the University of Leeds podcast - "How to Fix..." - exploring how we can have healthy relationships with dating apps.

An estimated 4.4 million adults in the UK now use dating apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble in their search for the perfect partner, with these platforms generating a staggering £150 million in annual revenue. While many people do find the love of their life online, concerns are mounting over reports that some services perpetuate racism, are losing users, and can even promote gambling through their paid subscription models. So, how can we build a healthy relationship with dating apps?

This is the big question discussed in the latest episode of “How To Fix” (the University of Leeds’ podcast, providing hopeful solutions to the greatest challenges humanity faces, directly from the scientists and researchers on the front line).

Hosted by Rich Williams, Dr Alessandro Biraglia is joined by Dr Luke Brunning, Lecturer in Applied and Inter-Disciplinary Ethics at the IDEA Centre, and Dr Natasha McKeever, Lecturer in Applied Ethics, also at the IDEA Centre.
