Ninety-six, mainly female (78%), psychology undergraduates were administered a battery six questionnaires. regression model, Secure Attachment was most strongly (inversely) related Social Loneliness (SL), explaining 34% variance. The remaining four latent variables, addition Withdrawal styles, positively SL, explained 77% total Additionally, those higher SL more likely utilise (Withdrawal) styles but not when controlling for recency (i.e., moving house life changing events). summary, type, Neuroticism, lesser extent, Self-Concept Clarity, Suppression may play an important role averting or predicting SL. Behaviourally, who Loneliness, particularly young adult females, adopt less once threshold has been attained, cognitive therapies crucial avert becoming chronic.
