This linkage study examined the prevalence of traditional gender expressions in the textual and visual profile cues on mobile dating applications (MDA) (nbiographies = 396, npictures = 1352) of 396 young adults’ (Mage = 22.39 years, SD = 2.86, 73% women) with attention to users’ gender, sexual orientation, and platform type. For 184 users (Mage = 22.10 years, SD = 2.91, 75% women) media content data were linked to self-report survey data. Results showed that individuals aligned their self-presentations with traditional gender roles and expectations, and this link depended on their gender. No significant differences according to individuals’ sexual orientation or platform type were found. Individuals’ (hyper-) gender orientation also related to engagement in traditional gender expressions. Specifically, women with a stronger feminine gender orientation expressed more traditional femininity in their MDA profiles. For men, no significant associations between (aspects of) a masculine gender orientation and expressing traditional masculinity in their MDA profiles were found. Future research should further disentangle selective gendered self-presentations.

这项关联研究调查了 396 名年轻人（Mage = 22.39 岁，SD = 2.86，73%）移动约会应用程序 (MDA)（nbiographies = 396，npictures = 1352）的文本和视觉资料线索中传统性别表达的流行程度。女性），关注用户的性别、性取向和平台类型。对于 184 名用户（Mage = 22.10 岁，SD = 2.91，75% 女性），媒体内容数据与自我报告调查数据相关联。结果表明，个人将他们的自我呈现与传统的性别角色和期望保持一致，而这种联系取决于他们的性别。根据个人的性取向或平台类型，没有发现显着差异。个人的（超）性别取向也与传统性别表达方式的参与有关。具体来说，具有较强女性性别取向的女性在其 MDA 档案中表达了更传统的女性气质。对于男性来说，男性性别取向（方面）与 MDA 档案中表达的传统男性气质之间没有发现显着关联。未来的研究应该进一步理清选择性的性别自我呈现。
