Generation Z adults spent far less time hanging out with friends during their teen years than did previous generations.
Gen Z leans liberal, but not necessarily Democratic. Its members are also less likely than most previous generations are to say they grew up in a time of widespread political trust.
The political divide between Gen Z men and women is larger than that of other generations, especially over gender-related issues. Less than half of Gen Z men identify as feminist, compared to more than six in 10 Gen Z women.
Despite nearly one in five Gen Z adults identifying as LGBTQ, a greater share than any other generation, the survey reveals a pronounced drop in Gen Z’s support for same-sex marriage.
