Report: Publicly Religious Facebook Users Are More Likely To Be Single

A recent report published in CyberPsychology & Behavior finds that Facebook users that disclose their religious affiliation are also more likely to list themselves as being single. This is an interesting parallel and underscores the amount of interesting demographic data that can be obtained from the Facebook network.

The information was collected from 150 Facebook profiles and conducted by Sean Young, Debo Dutta and Gopal Dommety. The result of study can be misinterpreted, as the “people who reported religious affiliation were significantly more likely to report being single than were those who did not include this information.”
