I came across this dataset surveying 45 people on the men’s and women’s crew team at a small liberal arts college in the U.S. Though all the data was self-reported, it’s rich with extensive social intel: who gossips about whom, who’s friends with whom, who’s hooked up with whom, and even who’s sabotaging others. Participants also completed the R-UCLA Loneliness and Well-Being Scales, which gives us intriguing insight into how relationship and emotional health intersect. While studying my own personal relationships would’ve been my dream project, this dataset provides a revealing look into the effects of gossip on our lives.
