Full textAbstract:
The Differential Loneliness Scale was presented to 30 persons in a mental growth group (test group) and to 36 adult students of psychology (controls). The majority of the subjects were aged 19 to 25 yr. The test group experienced loneliness statistically significantly more than the controls. The test group would be classified as lonely also according to American norms for the scale and for the UCLA test. There were no statistically significant differences in experiencing loneliness between men and women. Ten factors were extracted by Varimax rotation: Support from others, quality of friendship relations, group affiliation, number of friends, dependence on others, love relations, family relations, receiving understanding, reliance, and expressing emotions. The test group experienced their love relations and family relations, understanding from others, and the quality of friendship relations statistically significantly as less satisfactory than the control group. Concurrent validity for the UCLA test was satisfactory (.70) in spite of the different structure of these loneliness scales. Cross-validation is required.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometrics characteristics of the revised UCLA Loneliness Scale with Portuguese adolescents. Adolescents from the public schools of Porto were presented with the UCLA Loneliness Scale, with the Self-Consciousness Scale, with the Clinical Self-Concept Inventory, and also responded to some additional questions. The Loneliness Scale proved satisfactory on various criteria with adolescents. No gender and sociocultural differences were found. A negative correlation was found with public self-consciousness, total self-concept and their dimensions, and self-rated physical attractiveness. Positive correlations were found with social anxiety and shyness. The psychological variables that best predicted loneliness were happiness, social anxiety, social acceptance and public self-consciousness. The factorial structure of the UCLA Loneliness Scale tended to support the multidimensionality of the scale. The obtained results provided evidence supporting the validity and reliability of the scale with Portuguese adolescents.

This paper reviews the three most commonly used measures of loneliness for children and adolescents (children: Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents [LACA] and Children’s Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction Scale [CLS]; adolescents: UCLA Loneliness Scale [UCLA] and LACA). Loneliness is a pertinent issue across populations and affects the mental health and academic achievement of children and adolescents. To date, there has been no thorough examination of the loneliness measures for this age group. We examine how each of the three measures was developed, and assess the psychometric properties of those measures, gaining insight into whether they are valid and reliable assessments of loneliness. Results suggest that the UCLA Loneliness Scale is the most popular measure of loneliness for use with adolescents, but it does not have robust psychometric properties for that group. For children, the CLS appears most suitable. Results of the review identify gaps in aspects of measure development, with no measure having been developed with children or adolescents. Implications for future loneliness measurement research are considered.

The purpose of this investigation was two-fold. Firstly, to examine whether there were significant correlations between loneliness and four humor styles, and secondly to examine which humor style was the best predictor of loneliness among university students. In this study 483 undergraduate students participated at Çukurova University, Turkey. Data were collected through the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980) and the Humor Styles Questionnaire (Martin, Puhlik-Doris, Larsen, Gray, & Weir, 2003). Four Pearson product-moment correlations were computed for the scores on the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and on each of four humor scales. The results provided evidence in support of a conceptual framework of humor styles and loneliness indicating strong negative correlations between loneliness and affiliative and self-enhancing humor, and moderate positive correlations between loneliness and self-defeating humor, but no significant correlations between loneliness and aggressive humor. The stepwise regression analysis results indicated that four variables contributed meaningfully to loneliness, and the affiliative humor style was the best predictor of loneliness.

ABSTRACTObjectives:This study of loneliness across adult lifespan examined its associations with sociodemographics, mental health (positive and negative psychological states and traits), subjective cognitive complaints, and physical functioning.Design:Analysis of cross-sectional dataParticipants:340 community-dwelling adults in San Diego, California, mean age 62 (SD = 18) years, range 27–101 years, who participated in three community-based studies.Measurements:Loneliness measures included UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 (UCLA-3), 4-item Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Social Isolation Scale, and a single-item measure from the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD) scale. Other measures included the San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE) and Medical Outcomes Survey- Short form 36.Results:Seventy-six percent of subjects had moderate-high levels of loneliness on UCLA-3, using standardized cut-points. Loneliness was correlated with worse mental health and inversely with positive psychological states/traits. Even moderate severity of loneliness was associated with worse mental and physical functioning. Loneliness severity and age had a complex relationship, with increased loneliness in the late-20s, mid-50s, and late-80s. There were no sex differences in loneliness prevalence, severity, and age relationships. The best-fit multiple regression model accounted for 45% of the variance in UCLA-3 scores, and three factors emerged with small-medium effect sizes: wisdom, living alone and mental well-being.Conclusions:The alarmingly high prevalence of loneliness and its association with worse health-related measures underscore major challenges for society. The non-linear age-loneliness severity relationship deserves further study. The strong negative association of wisdom with loneliness highlights the potentially critical role of wisdom as a target for psychosocial/behavioral interventions to reduce loneliness. Building a wiser society may help us develop a more connected, less lonely, and happier society.

This study investigated loneliness and its relationships with social connectedness and family income among female and male college students in Taiwan. The Revised UCLA, Loneliness Scale (R-UCLA; Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980); translated into Chinese and adapted by Wang, 1989, for measuring global, intimate, and social loneliness, and the Social Connectedness Scale (Lee, Draper, & Lee, 2001), were administered to undergraduates. Analysis of the statistical data utilized Pearson's, product-moment correlations and multiple regression techniques. The findings reveal that college males experienced more loneliness than females in global and social loneliness. Furthermore, social connectedness significantly predicted global, intimate, and social loneliness in both females and males. Family income significantly predicted global and social loneliness in college men only. Implications for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
We investigated the mediating role of social support in the relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Participants were 728 Chinese students, from 6 universities, who completed 3 psychometric scales: the Gratitude Questionnaire-6, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (version 3), and the Social Support Rating Scale. Both gratitude and social support exerted protective effects against loneliness, and social support partially mediated the relationship between gratitude and loneliness. The practical implication of this research is that gratitude promotes social support and, thus, can protect individuals against loneliness.

Full textAbstract:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact worldwide and is posing a threat to the physical and mental health of world citizens. The present study examines the extent to which a sample of Swedish university students have experienced loneliness during COVID-19. Furthermore, it also examines if there is a correlation between a high degree of loneliness and increased alcohol consumption. Participants consisted of Swedish university students recruited online using opportunity sampling (N=224). Loneliness was measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale translated into Swedish. Results showed that the sample displayed higher levels of loneliness compared to normative scores but lower levels when compared to students elsewhere who have been quarantined. A logistic regression found no connection between high degrees of loneliness and increased alcohol consumption in the sample. The results and their implications are discussed. A pre-post measurement design and longitudinal studies are encouraged for future research to evaluate long term consequences of loneliness, along with an increased focus on ways to reduce loneliness. Finally, we suggest that loneliness should continue to be a priority in research in order to fully understand the psychological impact of COVID-19.<br>Utbrottet av COVID-19 pandemin har haft en enorm påverkan världen över och utgör ett hot mot den fysiska och mentala hälsan. Vår studie syftade till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning ett urval av svenska universitetsstudenter upplevt ensamhet under COVID-19. Vidare har studien undersökt om det fanns ett samband mellan en hög grad av upplevd ensamhet under COVID-19 och ökad alkoholkonsumtion. Deltagarna bestod av svenska universitetsstudenter vilka rekryterades online genom bekvämlighetsurval (N=224). Deltagarna fyllde i en enkät där subjektiv ensamhet mättes med hjälp av en översatt version av UCLA Loneliness Scale till svenska. Resultaten visade att studenterna i vårt urval uppvisade högre nivå av ensamhet jämfört med normvärden, men lägre jämfört med studenter i andra länder som suttit i karantän. En logistisk regression fann inget samband mellan upplevd ensamhet och ökad alkoholkonsumtion. Resultaten och deras implikationer diskuteras. För framtida forskning uppmuntras en för- och eftermätningsdesign samt longitudinella studier att utvärdera långsiktiga konsekvenser av ensamhet, samt ett ökat fokus på sätt att minska ensamhet. Slutligen föreslås att ensamhet blir ett fortsatt fokus i forskningen för att fullt ut förstå psykologiska effekterna av COVID-19.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka ofrivillig ensamhet i den svenska befolkningen utifrån faktorer som tidigare har visat sig associerade med oönskad ensamhet, nämligen ålder, inkomst, civilstånd, kön, antal hushållsmedlemmar och även storleken på orten där personen bor. Upplevelsen av ensamhet före och under coronapandemin har också studerats. Totalt har 196 personer svarat på ett frågeformulär som mäter de tidigare nämnda faktorerna och ensamhet enligt UCLA-ensamhetsindex. Resultaten visar att ensamheten är störst bland den yngre populationen och bland dem med lägst inkomst. Resultaten påvisade även att storstadsbor upplever sig mindre ensamma än de som bor i mindre orter. Studien kunde inte visa att coronapandemin haft någon inverkan på ensamhetsupplevelsen. Det fanns ingen statistiskt signifikant skillnad i ensamhet utifrån kön, civilstånd eller antal medlemmar i hushållet. Slutsatsen som kan dras från studien är att inkomst, ålder och storleken på orten där individen bor har betydelse för ofrivillig ensamhet.<br>The purpose of the present study was to examine the involuntary loneliness in the Swedish population considering factors that previously have been shown to be associated, i.e. age, income, civil status, gender, number of household members and size of the locality where the individual lives. Even the experienced level of loneliness before and during the coronavirus pandemics has been studied. A total of 196 individuals have responded to a questionnaire aimed to measure the previously named factors as well as the loneliness index according to the UCLA Loneliness Scale. The results show that involuntary loneliness is more widespread among younger individuals and among those with lowest incomes. The results also show that people living in Sweden's largest localities feel less lonely than those living in smaller localities. The current study could not conclude that the coronavirus pandemic has had any effect on loneliness. No statistically significant differences in loneliness have been found when it comes to gender, civil status or number of members in the household. Overall, it can be concluded that income, age and the size of the locality where the individual lives are significant in the experience of involuntary loneliness.

Se realizó una adaptación al español de la escala de soledad Lonenliness Scale UCLA en su versión 3 para la población de mujeres en situación de violencia que son atendidas en el módulo de Atención y Prevención de la Violencia Familiar y Sexual contra la Mujer de Tenango del Valle, en el Estado de México. Se trabajó con una muestra aleatoria de 36 usuarias, la cual se calculó con un nivel de confianza del 95% y una precisión del 88%.
Dadas las características de la población, la escala se aplicó por medio de entrevista. Con un nivel del 95% de confianza, se encontró que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el puntaje global de soledad de la población estudiada y el puntaje de los grupos estudiados en la investigación original. A partir de los resultados obtenidos con la muestra de Tenango del Valle, se analizan el nivel de sensibilidad de los reactivos de la escala para detectar soledad. Finalmente, para interpretar adecuadamente el puntaje de esta variable en la población de interés se construyó una tabla de normas con cinco categorías. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados obtenidos y se presentan sugerencias para el uso del instrumento estudiado y para nuevas investigaciones.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國防醫學院<br>護理研究所<br>98<br>The studies revealed that around 80% of people occasionally felt lonely. Loneliness is not only made the negative influence on clients’ physical and mental integrity, but also the risk factor of medical disease. Currently, there are two different kinds of Chinese version loneliness scale which used for elder people in Taiwan. However, adolescent (particularly the college student) is the high risk group of loneliness. And then, the prevalence of loneliness appears to peak during adolescent, more than elder. If the loneliness has been early prevention and management, it will be effective control of loneliness extending from adolescent to elder. The purpose of this research was to explore the Chinese version of loneliness scale for students, which make it more easily to screening, permitting early intervention, and prevention.
The study was the cross-sectional research design. One hundred and eighty one students were recruited from 4 Taiwan Universities using convenient sampling. The structured questionnaires including the Chinese UCLA loneliness scale（version 3）, Tung’s depression inventory for college students, Chinese Rosenberg self-esteem scale, self report of loneliness were used for data collection. All data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The Cronbach's α, Guttman split-half and Spearman correlation coefficient were used for reliability, Spearman correlation coefficient was use for convergent validity with depression, self-esteem and self report loneliness, and t test was use for known group validity that compare having good friend or not had were statistically significant different or not in loneliness. The statistically significance was p <.05.
The results were as follows: (1) internal consistency reliability Cronbach's alpha of Chinese UCLA loneliness scale (version 3) was .887, the split-half reliability Guttman split-half was .830, the test-retest reliability was .561 over a 14 day interval ; (2) the factor analysis KMO index was .886, and three factors explained 61.660% of total variance. The content validity index was .939, and the convergent validity in terms of the depression, esteem and self report of loneliness were .561, .576, and .660. The results showed that students having good friend or not were statistically significant different in loneliness, which demonstrated the known group validity.
In summary, this study found that Chinese version UCLA loneliness scale (version 3) has appropriate reliability and validity and suggests that future study may apply the scale to study college student’s loneliness.

This paper mainly explores how real-life social network and social media use are related to loneliness among university students in Bangladesh. To carry out this paper, primary data and several methods are used. This paper uses Lubben Social Network Scale and UCLA loneliness scale to measure the level of real life social network and loneliness, respectively. Besides Pearson's partial correlation matrix is used to find out the correlation between social network, social media use, and loneliness. The study finds that students are averagely engaged in real-life social network and moderately lonely. The study also finds a significantly positive relationship between social media (Facebook) use and loneliness, and a significantly negative relationship between real life social network and loneliness. This paper calls for the students to be careful in using social media and be engaged more in real life social network to avoid loneliness.
