Components of Loneliness during Adolescence.

Goswick, Ruth Ann; Jones, Warren H.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v11 n5 p373-83 Oct 1982

Predictors of adolescent loneliness were investigated in two samples of high school students (n=92) and college undergraduates (n=192). Results were similar across samples and in agreement with previous research, suggesting that loneliness develops as a consequence of disruptions in relationships with significant others (i.e., inadequate social skills).
