Online dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship. But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed (有缺陷的).
An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.
The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest, found that the processes involved don’ t
lend themselves to
forming strong relationships. The findings also indicated that the concept of an online profile (介绍) is not entirely useful and "can result in treating potential partners as mere objects".
Lead author Eli J. Finkel explained: " Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. However, there are two problems. " First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on Match, com, does not reveal much about them. Second, it "overloads people and they end up shutting down, " he said.
He compared it to shopping at "supermarkets of love" and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.
The study ’ s authors also questioned the algorithms (算法) employed by sites such as eHarmony. com to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr. Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar. " There’ s no better way to figure out whether you’ re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer, " Dr. Finkel said.
According to paragraph 2, online dating______.
选项
A、attracts a limited number of singles
B、has been widely studied recently
C、is criticized as lacking a purpose
D、offers too many choices
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据文章第二段可知,通过对400份在线约会研究的分析表明,尽管在线约会提供了可以接触到其他单身人士的机会,但是面对大量的选择,用户可能会迟疑、不知所措,从而并不能真正地达到目的。因此选项D(提供太多的选择)符合文章意思。选项A(吸引的单身数量有限)与文章意思不符。选项B(目前被广泛研究)根据文章无法推测出。选项C(因缺乏目标被批评)文中并未提及。故本题选D。
