The majority of participants identified being White (67.1%), female (78.1%), reported mean age 19.61 (SD = 1.54) years. completed two surveys (3 weeks apart) over course an academic semester. Analyses revealed significant interaction FAD, such that (T1) significantly positively predicted problems (T2), but only individuals relatively higher levels FAD (T1). may be appropriate target for interventions aimed at reducing experiencing loneliness.
