- As for the conceptual framework, the application of the Impression Management

Theory is relevant because of its two parts: the Constructive Impression
Management strategies which is helpful to determine how the Bumble users present
themselves online via creating their profile and the Strategic Impression
Management strategies which is how they initiate and converse with their matches
to form the impression they want to elicit which in turn result to their desired dating
profile to their matches. Listed here are the strategies that they can use to get to
their desired dating profile.

SIM Parts (6 slides) / 2 minutes (quotes)
1. As you can see here are the strategies under Strategic Impression Management
with consistency being the most used followed by behavioral matching, and then
self-promotion and flattery and the least used which is conforming to situational
norms.
2. So we had 5 participants that used Behavioral Matching. Behavioral Matching is
when the person of perception matches her behavior to that of the perceiver.
Here are two examples that we got from the participants. As you can see
Participant MS likes to listen to her matches and get to know their stand on
certain issues but that won’t affect her own views. Same with participant HV,
she is able to hold conversations with her matches without stepping on their
beliefs.
3. For Self-Promotion, here the person tries to present herself as positively as
possible to her matches. Example of this, would Participant MC and Participant
ES. Participant ES also mentions how she talks about how outgoing she is and
how she is all about Good Vibes. These participants have the tendency to just
show their positive traits in order to impress their matches.
4. As for conforming to situational norms, only one participant used this as a
strategy and this person is someone who follows up agreed-upon rules for
behavior and presentation. This person will just agree to whatever their matches
may say in order to not cause any trouble or just so they could be liked even if it
compromises their own views.
5. For Flattery, this is when the person compliments the perceiver in order to be
liked, but it’s also best when flattery is not overdone. This is evident in both
Participant RM and MC wherein they both explain that they are people pleasers
even if they don’t necessarily agree.
6. And for consistency, this person’s beliefs and behaviors are consistent. There is
an agreement between the person’s verbal and nonverbal presentation. These
are evident with Participants MS, MC and PR. They are consistent with their
views and will engage in a healthy discourse if needed to defend their views.
Explain what we did to form the dating profiles (30 seconds) (1 slide)
To fulfill our third specific objective, we compiled the most popular to least popular traits of
our participants to create the dating profiles that occurred the most to the least. Strategies
can be combined in order to create their desired profile. This applies for both strategies
under the Constructive Impression Management and Strategic Impression Management. All
names are fictional, and these results are based off our data gathering. We will begin with
the most popular strategies that were used in order to create their desired dating profiles.

Confident Chloe (include RRL) 1.5 minutes

Confident Chloe is the third most common dating profile. She is someone who uses
exemplification to build her profile and flattery and self-promotion when talking to her
matches. Confident Chloe is someone who is not afraid to post photos of herself as she feels
that she has nothing to hide and does not feel judgement. Similar to the study conducted
by Booth in 2014, those who are in a culture of all women college and universities are
reportedly more confident as they do not experience the stereotype effect where women
are inhibited by how women are supposed to act. Many of her matches would take for
someone arrogant because of her photos, but late realize that she is a funny and easy to get
along with kind of person. She also answers little to none of the profile prompts as she
wants to keep that factor of mystery. Because of how positively she views herself, she
would also like to share the positive traits about herself which was an important finding in
one of the studies we used from the Midwest Americas in 2010, where women want to give
off a positive image of themselves online to be successful in searching for a potential
partner. Additionally, she is also firm about her beliefs which was a prominent detail in the
study by Birger (2015). Therefore, she enjoys conversations that practice her intellect while
having a confident and bright personality.

Pleasing Paula (include RRL) 1.5 minutes

And the least common dating profile is Pleasing Paul and she uses Ingratiation to build her
profile by choosing photos that are as close to how she looks like in person as she does not
want her matches to expect highly of her. She makes use of Profile Prompts to look like
someone “cool and fun” and because she chooses not to have a biography. Sometimes, she
also feels pressure to change certain parts of her profile to not risk the feeling of being
judged. She would also easily agree to the thoughts and opinions of her matches even if it
means compromising her own beliefs. It is evident that the influence of the Spaniards on the
Filipino culture wherein men became dominant in romantic relationships made them more
domesticated and submissive to their partners. Please Paula would also try to keep the
conversation for as long as possible but if the replies are not substantial, she would easily
unmatch the person. She is a people pleaser, she listen to other people’s beliefs, and usually
reserved.
