85% Of People On Social Networks Think People Are Kind-Hearted [STUDY]

All you doom-and-gloom sayers, listen up: the general feeling on social networks is that people are kind and make them feel good about themselves. So next time you debate whether to compliment your Twitter friend on her new picture, do it – you might just be reaffirming her faith in humanity, at least according to the latest study.

Pew conducted a survey of 2,260 adults aged 18-and-up between July 25 and August 26, 2011. Of those surveyed, 1,047 were Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter users.

The study found that people are actually pretty kind to each other on social media.
