“…Wilson, Sibanda, Sibanda, and Wilson (1989) asserted that little cross-cultural research on loneliness exists (see also Triandis, 1996). Ginter, Glauser, and Richmond (1994) further pointed out the importance of, and urgent need for, crosscultural research. Segall, Lonner, and Berry (1998) reviewed the interplay between psychology and culture, and asserted that "culture and all that it implies with respect to human development, thought, and behavior should be central, not peripheral in psychological theory and research" (p. 1108).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine clothing interest as a mediating factor in self-perceptions of sociability, emotional stability, and dominance when either satisfaction or dissatisfaction with clothing was specified. A questionnaire was designed to measure five dimensions of clothing interest as well as each of the three traits both with, and without, a “clothing satisfaction variable,” or reference to whether the subject felt satisfied or dissatisfied with her dress. A MANOVA analysis revealed that specific dimensions of clothing interest suggesting a risk-avoiding orientation toward dress were most likely to mediate self-perceptions of sociability, emotional stability, and dominance when one was either satisfied or dissatisfied with one's clothing.

It is conceivable, then, that the differences amongst cultures and the way people's social relationships are organized within them will result in cross-cultural variations in the way people experience and cope with loneliness (Medora, Woodward, & Larson, 1987).…”

In the present study we examined the influence of cultural background on the experience of loneliness. A total of 637 participants from North America and 454 from Spain volunteered to answer an 82-item questionnaire which examined the quality of their loneliness experiences. The factors which comprise the experience of loneliness are Emotional distress, Social inadequacy and alienation, Growth and discovery, Interpersonal isolation, and Self alienation. Results indicated that cultural background, indeed, affects the experience of loneliness.
