The researchers then coded participants' responses into categories.

So what was the most commonly cited reason for using Tinder?

The researchers then used a statistical technique to group those ratings into general categories.

The categories and the average ratings of the participants for each category are summarized in the table below.

As can be seen in the table, using the app for casual sex and hookups was actually less common than these other motives.

It can also help to fulfill our needs for self-worth. On the other hand, not receiving matches could damage self-worth, and in fact, Le Febvre found that lack of success on Tinder, including not receiving matches, was one of the main reasons users quit the app. In Le Febvre's qualitative study, 77 percent of the respondents indicated that they had met a match in person at some point, with the average participant reporting 4.58 offline meetings with matches.

Another 12.6 percent said they had hooked up but it didn’t involve sexual intercourse and another 65.6 percent said their hookups did involve sexual contact.

In addition, the average number of hookups reported by the participants was just above three.

Since its launch in 2012, the dating app, Tinder, has received quite a bit of publicity.

It's one of the most popular lifestyle apps with over 10 million daily active users.

This rate is much lower, but other data from this study indicates that these participants were overall less active on the app than the participants in Le Febvre's study.
