“…The intensity of loneliness can be objectively measured and compared across individuals using objective tools, such as the university of california Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (uLS-8) [9]. Although loneliness is steeply increasing among young people [10], it most common problem among the elderly, where it affects about one in three [11] -particularly females, widows, and divorcees who now live alone and did not establish friendships earlier in life, as well as people discriminated against because of a health condition that is visible or known to their environment [12]. having offspring has a protective effect against loneliness, and the negative effects among the widowed tend to decrease with years of widowhood [11].…”

Each day, primary care physicians see many lonely elderly people with multiple complaints, who sometimes can be labelled "over-demanding" or even "abusing health services"; in fact, this phenomenon results from general deficiencies and insufficiency in social support. A literature review has been carried out in order to identify the characteristics of loneliness in people aged sixty years and older, and its health-related consequences. Loneliness causes sensory deprivation and emotional starvation, which translate into a subjective feeling of discomfort and distress, as well as into objective behavioral changes. Loneliness is a prognostic factor for worsened health and cognitive status in the elderly. The limited ability of elderly people to take care of themselves as a result of deterioration in health does not itself lead to loneliness and abandonment if the social support system is not deficient. Paradoxically, policies intended to protect the elderly often result in negative phenomena, such as actual discrimination justified on the basis of paternalistic and generalizing assumptions. Loneliness among elderly people is becoming a serious public health problem in modern atomized, ageing societies. This thus demands urgent action from the Polish state, aimed at providing the elderly with organized social support in order to adequately protect their health and well-being. currently, different levels of the health system, including primary care physicians, are forced to deal with the increasing fallout of loneliness, which presents in the form of physical and mental illnesses, as well as psychosomatic ailments.

“…Ostracism has been proven to negatively impact the four primary needs, i.e. the need for belonging, control, self-esteem and meaningful existence (Williams, 2007), leaving an employee to experience an array of negative outcomes such as the feeling of worthlessness, reduced self-esteem and loneliness (Wright and Silard, 2022; Leary, 1990).…”

PurposeUndertaking the theoretical lens of “The need to belong” theory, the present study intends to explore the aftermath of internal whistleblowing and the behavioral outcomes that follow by linking it to the literature on workplace ostracism, loneliness and intentions to quit.Design/methodology/approachThe respondents were hotel employees in the Delhi NCR region of northern India. A hypothesized sequential mediation model was tested on a sample of employees from a hotel using a three-wave time-lagged multistudy design.FindingsThe findings of the study established that internal whistleblowing leads to intentions to quit via workplace ostracism and loneliness at work.Originality/valueThe unique contribution of this study lies in understanding the underlying mechanisms and discussing the behavioral outcomes that follow post-whistleblowing. HR managers need to develop a work environment that protects whistleblowers and has a zero-tolerance policy against employees engaging in any form of retaliation or unethical business practices. Managers must be more proactive and sensitive to the social cues that will make them aware of the presence of acts of ostracism. Upon encountering such acts, managers can consider counseling employees engaging in such unhealthy practices.

“…Aziz & Nurainiah (2018) noted that teenagers prefer to communicate with their friends who are fellow smartphone users rather than interacting directly with friends who are around them. Wright & Silard (2022) explained that when individuals feel alienated from the group or unable to share their concerns, they tend to feel lonely. As a result, according to Li et al (2021), individuals who feel lonely tend to experience depression and lack of happiness, leading them to seek escape by overusing social media or social interaction applications on their mobile phones.…”

The use of smartphones is immense and continues to increase, causing new problems to emerge, especially in health. The increasing intensity of smartphone use also has an impact on daily life. Individuals who are dependent on their cell phones and feel anxious if the cell phone is not nearby are known as Nomophobia or No Mobile Phone Phobia. This research aims to determine the influence between self-control and loneliness with nomophobia tendencies in teenagers. The subjects of this research were early teenagers with a range of ages 12-15 years, totaling 163 subjects. The sampling technique used the g-power application with an effect size of 0.3, power 0.90 and error prob 0.05. Using the SPSS IBM25 Windows application, the data analysis method included multiple regression analysis. The findings of this research suggest that the first hypothesis which claims that there is a tendency between self-control and loneliness and nomophobia in teenagers is accepted. The second hypothesis which states that there is a relationship between self-control and nomophobia in teenagers is acceptable. The third hypothesis which argues that there is a relationship between loneliness and nomophobia in teenagers is accepted.
