Abstract

Following a review of the literature on gender, power, and eDating, this paper introduces the eDating development model and discusses a number of hypotheses that can be derived from it. Findings from a research investigation that explored the hypotheses are presented. The findings supported all the hypotheses, indicating that: (1) male and female eDaters follow different sequence of stages in their eDating development; (2) the behaviors that males and females exhibit as eDaters are different; and (3) the feedback that male and female eDaters receive from the environment is different. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications from this research to more general questions relating to gender, power, and eDating.
