description Verkkodeittailun maailmassa yksilöt käyvät läpi laajan tunneskaalan, aina uusien yhteyksien luomisen innostuksesta syvään epätoivoon, joka johtuu ilmiöistä, kuten “Haamuilusta” ja “Murustelusta”. Vaikka nämä käyttäytymismallit ovat yleisiä digitaalisessa deittailussa, ne ovat saaneet rajoitetusti tutkimushuomiota, erityisesti niiden tunnevaikutusten ja hylkäämiskokemusten osalta. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii korjaamaan tätä tutkimusaukkoa tarkastelemalla Haamuilun ja Murustelun aiheuttamia tunnejälkiseurauksia ja selvittämällä uhrien persoonallisuuspiirteiden vaikutusta näiden ilmiöiden ymmärtämiseen. Tutkimus toteutettiin 32 osallistujan kyselytutkimuksena, jotta voitaisiin kerätä tietoa heidän kohtaamistaan Haamuilu- ja Murustelu-tilanteista. Lisäksi tutkimus selvitti, miten uhrien persoonallisuuspiirteet vaikuttavat näihin kokemuksiin. Tulokset tarjoavat yleiskuvan näiden verkkodeittailukäyttäytymisten ymmärtämisestä, niiden tunnevaikutuksista ja persoonallisuuspiirteiden vaikutuksesta näihin käyttäytymiskokemuksiin merkittävästi. Haamuilu ja Murustelu ovat yleisiä, mutta Murustelun ja persoonallisuuspiirteiden välillä ei ollut selkeää yhteyttä. Haamuilun ja extroversion välillä huomattiin negatiivinen korrelaatio, joka viittaa mahdollisesti parempaan vastustukseen tai lievempään tunnevaikutukseen extroverteilla yksilöillä. Lisäksi niin Haamuilun kuin Murustelun tunnevaikutukset ovat merkittäviä, koska yksilöt kokevat usein laajan valikoiman tunnereaktioita, mukaan lukien kipua, järkytystä ja hämmennystä, korostaen tämän ilmiön psykologista syvyyttä. Tämä tutkimus herättää pohdintaa verkkodeittailuympäristöistä ja käyttäjäkokemuksista ja kannustaa aloitteisiin käyttäjäkoulutuksen, psykologisen tuen ja alustainterventioiden suhteen näiden ilmiöiden vaikutusten ohjaamiseksi ja lieventämiseksi. In the realm of online dating, individuals navigate a wide range of emotions, from the excitement of forging new connections to the profound despair induced by phenomena such as Ghosting and Breadcrumbing. Despite being prevalent in digital dating, these behaviors have received limited research attention, particularly regarding their emotional impact and the experience of rejection they entail. This study aims to address this research gap by examining the emotional aftermath of Ghosting and Breadcrumbing and exploring the influence of the victim's personality traits on understanding these phenomena. The research was conducted through a survey involving 32 participants to gather insights into their encounters with Ghosting and Breadcrumbing. Additionally, the study investigated how the victim's personality traits influence these experiences. The results provide an overview of the comprehension of these online dating behaviors, their emotional effects, and the impact of personality traits on these behavioral experiences significantly. Ghosting and Breadcrumbing are prevalent, however, there was no clear link between Breadcrumbing and personality traits. A negative correlation was observed between Ghosting and extroversion, suggesting the possibility of greater resilience or milder emotional impact among extroverted individuals. Furthermore, both Ghosting and Breadcrumbing elicit significant emotional reactions, as individuals often experience a wide range of emotional responses, including pain, shock, and confusion, highlighting the psychological depth of these phenomena. This research invokes reflections on online dating environments and user experiences and encourages initiatives for user education, psychological support, and platform interventions to guide and mitigate the impacts of these phenomena.
