Project description

This research project wants to gain insight into the experience and perception of Flemish dating app users regarding online sexual harassment on dating apps and the normalisation thereof, studied through the lens of sexual script theory. A qualitative survey and in-depth interviews with vignettes will be conducted to discover the possible reciprocal impact between sexual scripts and the normalisation.
