Table 1 demonstrates the descriptive results with reliability indices. Although several scales have significantly correlated, they all have weak associations. The model had acceptable fit (CFI = 0.941, TLI = 0.928, RMSEA = 0.043, [90% CI = 0.0380.048]). The strongest predictor of problematic Tinder use was self-esteem enhancement motivation (? = 0.37, p < .001).>
Dining table step 1.
The mediational model of personality traits, Tinder-use motivations and problematic Tinder use (Study 2). Note. All variables presented in ellipses are latent variables. For the sake of clarity, indicator variables related to latent variables and correlations between the variables were not depicted in this figure. One-headed arrows represent standardized regression weights. The non-significant pathways were not depicted on the figure for the sake of simplicity; *p < .05.>
Prior education claimed solid connectivity ranging from lowest thinking-respect and you can challenging on line routines given that users need to raise its self-esteem in the form of the new virtual environment (age.grams., Armstrong ainsi que al., 2000; Yang & Tung, 2007).
