Notes: SOI-R = Sociosexual Orientation Inventory-Revised; LTMO = Long Term Mating Orientation Scale; CI = confidence interval; Men = dummy variable where women = 0 and men = 1; Heterosexual = dummy variable where sexual minority = 0 and heterosexual = 1; Apps used = dummy variable indicating whether any dating app was used in the three months prior to participating in the study. Bold values correspond to statistically significant coefficients (p <. 05).
