Family & Relationships

Here’s a look at what surveys by Pew Research Center and other organizations have found about Americans’ mental health during the pandemic.

36% of Americans who are divorced, separated or widowed say they have ever used a dating site or app; 16% of married adults say the same.

The percentage of single Americans who are looking for a relationship or casual dates is lower than in 2019, especially among men.

About a third of U.S. parents with children under 18 say it’s extremely or very important to them that their kids share their religious beliefs.

Three-in-ten U.S. adults say they have ever used an online dating site or app, and Tinder tops the list of dating apps the survey studied.

Tinder is the most widely used dating platform in the U.S. About half of those who have used dating sites or apps have had positive experiences, and some have met their partners on one; however, safety and harassment remain issues.

Mental health concerns top the list of worries for parents, followed by concerns about their children being bullied. The vast majority of parents say being a parent is enjoyable and rewarding all or most of the time, but substantial shares also find it tiring and stressful.

How are U.S. parents raising their children these days, and how does their approach compare with the way their own parents raised them?

A majority of U.S. parents are keeping a watchful eye on what their teens do on social media; some are also imposing screen time restrictions.

A quarter of U.S. parents of K-12 students say racism or racial inequality comes up in conversation with their children very or fairly often.
