相較常見社群媒體(例如Facebook和Instagram)的不指定溝通對象，在移動交友軟體裡，由於其配對作用，個人信息只對配對者進行展示與溝通，導致使用者的自願公開程度與內容直接影響使用者的網路社交生活之幸福感。除此之外，本研究經文獻推論使用者的自願公開行為可以由兩種方式影響使用者的幸福感(亦即中介影響)，第一，是透過應用程式本身提供的產品與服務讓使用者感知到是有用的，也就是對其產品有正向的預期好處；第二，是使用者在操作應用程式的過程中能感知到自己的表現是成功的，感受到被在意與被認可的程度。藉由網路便利抽樣蒐集有效問卷676份，並透過結構方程式分析結果支持上述之中介效果。

Due to the matching system in mobile dating apps, the content and degrees of users’ self-disclosure will directly affect the well-being of their online social life, compared with communicating with unspecified people in other common social media, such as Facebook and Instagram. Besides, this study infers from previous papers that the well-being of users will be affected by their behavior of self-disclosure via two different ways which are mediation effects. Firstly, the users' perception of usefulness can be improved through the products and services provided by mobile dating apps, making users have positive expected benefits for their products. Secondly, the users' perception of successful performance can be affected through the process of operating mobile dating apps, making them feel cared and recognized. The mediation effect in this study is supported by a total of 676 valid questionnaires, which is collected through the online convenience sampling, and the analytic results of structural equation modeling (SEM).
