Based on a sample of 350 Internet users, compared to general population norms drawn from an earlier survey. Internet users had an average of 7 friends (s.d. =4), while the comparison population of 160 had 6 (s.d. = 3.4). Thus, Internet users had more friends than non-users (t = 2.72, p < .01) based on the data given, although the original article reported no significance test and characterized the data as revealing "neither above average isolation nor loneliness" (p. 289).
