“…To prevent this, participants are encouraged to formally report the presence of falsified information through feedback mechanisms available on some platforms. Both men and women report that they have faced instances of misreporting on online dating sites [61] suggesting that this behavioral tendency is rather common [45] [64]. However, different information is misrepresented by female and male daters (see Table 6).…”

“…Over half of online daters report feeling that someone they interacted with has seriously misrepresented themselves in their profile (Smith & Duggan, 2013). It seems that women are more prolific liars in this sense than men (Lo, Hsieh, & Chiu, 2013), and that this most often involves misrepresentation of physical appearance, whilst men more often misrepresent information about marital status, relationship goals, and height (Schmitz, Zillmann, & Blossfeld, 2013). As a result, many users report that they are concerned with the veracity of information given on a dating profile (Norcie, de Cristofaro, & Bellotti, 2013;Couch, Liamputtong, & Pitts, 2012).…”

Across many online contexts, internet users are required to make judgments of trustworthiness in the systems or other users that they are connecting with. But how can a user know that the interactions they engage in are legitimate? In cases where trust is manipulated, there can be severe consequences for the user both economically and psychologically. In this chapter, the authors outline key psychological literature to date that has addressed the question of how trust develops in online environments. Specifically, three use cases in which trust relationships emerge are discussed: crowdfunding, online health forums, and online dating. By including examples of different types of online interaction, the authors aim to demonstrate the need for advanced security measures that ensure valid trust judgments and minimise the risk of fraud victimisation.

“…Despite the fact that users can be suspicious of the authenticity of a dater's visual selfpresentation in photographs (Hancock et al, 2009;Toma et al, 2008), they still participate in online dating (Hancock et al, 2007;Lo et al, 2013;Toma & Hancock, 2010;Toma et al, 2008). Whitty et al (2012) further differentiated the significance of deception based on various modes of communication.…”

“…Toma et al (2008) for example reported in their online dating study that males lie more about their height, and females lie more about their weight. Females employ higher levels of deception in misrepresenting themselves in photographs than do males (Lo et al, 2013), but males also tend to exaggerate their positive characteristics in computer-mediated communication (Guadagno et al, 2012). Both genders strategically represent or even exaggerate their self-image online to facilitate romantic relationships.…”

Gender is a salient feature of identity that is rarely questioned in our physical encounters. We are usually not confused about a person's gender-generally it's male or female. However, as the adoption of computer-mediated communication increases, our social reliance on these technologies has made gender easily disguised online. And yet, the phenomenon of gender deception has not been fully investigated. This study adopts a path analysis to examine interconnected cognitive factors that impact online users' ability to deceive-and detect deception-regarding gender. An asynchronous online game was developed to simulate situations where males were incentivized to communicate like females, and females were incentivized to communicate like males. Twelve hypotheses were tested using path analysis, which resulted in our realization that an actor's true gender can affect the motivation to deceive; males tend to have higher self-efficacy beliefs in gender deception, and females tend to have a higher success rate in detecting gender deception. Our research suggests that the gender of the message recipient could be a significant factor in uncovering gender deception.
