摘要
現今社會因為生活忙碌，使得每個人距離感越來越遠，有部份的人因環境與工作的關係，無法擴展社交圈或認識異性，所以希望能利用其他的方式去認識朋友，而利用網際網路是其中一種方式，透過交友網站配對去認識新的對象，進一步與新對象進行盲目約會是目前盛行的一種交友方式。 本研究透過發放網路問卷方式總共回收302份有效樣本，並以線性逐步廻歸分析為主要研究方法。本研究想針對使用網際網路參加盲目約會的意願，研究關於參加盲目約會使用者的人際關係、人格特質、刺激尋求與自我揭露等理論，發展研究架構，進而了解是那些人會使用盲目約會。 研究結果顯示人際需求顯著影響參加盲目約會的意願；人格特質與參加盲目約會意願有顯著關聯性；刺激尋程度越高越有可能參加盲目約會；自我揭露與參加盲目約會的意願有顯著影響。

Due to busy modern lifestyles, there is an ever-increasing emotional distance between people. Some people are unable to broaden their social circles or meet new people from the opposite sex because of their environment and/or work, so they look to non-traditional methods to meet new people. One of these methods is using the internet. The current trend is match making on online dating sites and getting involved in blind dating. The study is conducted through online questionnaires; out of those distributed, 302 valid samples were returned. The main research method was putting the samples through stepwise linear regression analysis. By focusing on the reasons people participate in blind dating through the internet, this study examines theories on the relatedness needs, personality characteristics, sensation-seeking motivation, and self-disclosure of those involved; and develop a framework for research to understand what type of people use blind dating as a means of meeting others. Results from the study show that interpersonal demands and self-disclosure play a role in why one would want to participate in blind dating. Furthermore, there is a definite connection between the characteristics of one’s personality and the desire to participate in blind dating. The more one seeks excitement, the higher the likelihood of participating in blind dating.
