Keyword: Digital Media

Abstract: We examined the relationship between gamification and problematic dating app usage (PDAU) via user engagement among young dating app users (n=400; 188 females, M_age=22.170). User engagement fully mediated gamification-PDAU association. The findings can have important implications for various stakeholders such as dating app developers, mental health practitioners, and policy makers.
