How does who – and how – we date impact our job satisfaction, motivation, and well-being, and, on the flip side, how does our job impact our love life?

Close relationships can have a huge impact on the shape and direction of our careers. Yet, the link between the nature and qualities of our close relationships and our career pursuits and outcomes has been vastly understudied. This research will fill an important gap in the literature and help to illuminate potential avenues by which romantic partners may help or hinder career pursuits, especially for women.
We are conducting a study investigating how women’s love lives affect their career journeys. The study is open to self-identified women who are employed, over the age of 18, currently in a romantic relationship with a man, and living in Australia.

The precarity of progress
During the Covid-19 pandemic, households around the world experienced a shift toward a more traditional division of household labour – one where women took greater responsibility for household tasks and caring responsibilities than men. In our longitudinal study involving over 10,000 participants from more than 100 countries, we investigated how this shift was perceived and experienced by women and men.

How do you approach dating men on the apps?
We want to understand how gender dynamics play out on dating apps, and how much gender equality beliefs influence people's decisions about who and how they date.
So if you are someone who uses dating apps, we want to hear from you! We're looking for...
• People of all genders (and non-binary folks) aged 18+
• Who are currently using a dating app or apps
• Who have used the app to view male profiles (you can also date other genders and non-binary folks, but we're specifically interested in your experiences dating men for this research)
