Loneliness in Children.
Asher, Steven R.; And Others
Child Development, v55 n4 p1456-64 Aug 1984
A 16-item self-report measure of loneliness and social dissatisfaction was developed to survey 506 third- through sixth-grade children. The measure was found to be internally reliable; more than 10 percent of subjects reported feelings of loneliness and social dissatisfaction; and children's feelings of loneliness were significantly related to their sociometric status.
