A recent intervention done by Ong (2008) which was replicated by Gan (2008) showed that facebook status changes of "single" to "in a relationship" invoked the most responses from individuals.
This is a startling find. According to Ong (2008) within a day, 16 responses were collected. Gan (2008) replication was similar and showed matching results within half a day. Due to personal traumas from the smses and ethical considerations (the participant did not want to lie), the participant decided to withdraw from the experiment.
Preliminary observations show that majority of the responses came from females with the leading question being "who is the girl?". With such startling statistics we estimate a correlation of 0.8 could be possible if one switches the status of one's relationship.
Hopefully researchers would remain vigilant in this field to establish more concrete statistics.
