Given that little research has been done on unconventional means of finding and courting a potential spouse via matrimonial Web sites, this emerging form of courtship, differs substantially from Western‐style online dating. This research examines the impressions Saudi users intended to form when constructing their profiles on matrimonial Web sites, the characteristics these users seek in their potential spouses, and the acceptable Saudi script for courtships initiated on matrimonial Web sites. It unites the hyperpersonal theory, sexual strategies theory, and script theory into a theoretical framework. Using a quantitative questionnaire (N = 302), the results of the research contribute to the debate in the literature on Computer‐Mediated Communication regarding whether online settings provide rich information about other users, as they show that online interactions can provide more information about the opposite sex for users who belong to gender‐segregated societies than they can get through their offline lives. The results also reveal that there are similarities and differences between mate preferences proposed by Sexual Strategies Theory and Saudis’ mate preferences. Such findings contribute to the theories on mate preferences in general and the sexual strategies theory in particular by advancing the understanding of mate preferences in an Islamic context.

在沙特阿拉伯用户中使用婚姻网站的实证研究

鉴于很少有关于通过婚姻网站寻找并向潜在配偶求爱的非常规手段的研究,这种新兴的求爱形式与西方式的在线约会大不相同。这项研究调查了沙特阿拉伯用户在婚姻网站上构建个人档案时想要形成的印象,这些用户在潜在配偶中寻求的特征,以及在婚姻网站上发起的可以接受的沙特阿拉伯求爱脚本。它将超人性理论,性策略理论和剧本理论结合到一个理论框架中。使用定量问卷(N = 302),该研究的结果使有关计算机设置的沟通的辩论成为可能,有关在线设置是否提供了其他用户的丰富信息,因为他们表明在线互动可以为属于该用户的用户提供有关异性的更多信息对性别隔离的社会而言,他们在离线生活中所无法获得的。研究结果还表明,性策略理论提出的伴侣偏好与沙特人的伴侣偏好之间存在异同。这些发现为一般的关于伴侣偏好的理论,尤其是对性策略理论的发展做出了贡献,特别是通过在伊斯兰语境中增进了对伴侣偏好的理解。
