“…In line with related past findings (e.g., Chang et al, ; Strijk et al, ), we made the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 : Participants who report traumatic experiences will endorse higher levels of loneliness and dissociation compared with participants who do not report traumatic experiences. Hypothesis 2 : Traumatic experiences and higher levels of dissociation will predict higher levels of loneliness within the sample.…”

“…For example, depressed mood, poor sleep habits, and increased smoking all have relationships with increased loneliness in college students (Zawadzki et al, ). In addition, loneliness has been found to be predictive of hopelessness and suicidal ideation among college students (Chang et al, ; Weber, Metha, & Nelsen, ). Dissociation brings its own slew of mental health concerns, including self‐harm and suicidality (Ford & Gomez, ), further supporting the need for this research.…”
Section: Negative Outcomes Of Lonelinessmentioning
Loneliness is often seen in college students as they leave established support networks and family. Loneliness is also associated with negative mental health outcomes, including depression and decreased life satisfaction. The authors explored relationships between trauma, dissociation, and loneliness, and assessed the predictive ability of trauma and dissociation on feelings of loneliness. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that trauma experience and dissociation significantly predicted loneliness in the current sample (n = 429). Implications for counseling are discussed.

“…Cantor [41] suggested that individuals offend when they are at their most vulnerable and experience pervasive loneliness. Loneliness and social rejection are key risk factors in etiological theories of child sexual abuse [42], as well as being linked to suicidality [43], reduced intelligent thought, and decreased self-regulation [44]. As well, interacting with children to meet social, emotional, and intimacy needs, while being a strong predictor of sexual offending against a child [45], has also been linked to loneliness and social rejection in sexual offenders and may be a means that a pedophilic individual uses to reduce the experience of loneliness [46,47].…”
Section: Treatment With Non-offending Pedophilesmentioning
Non-offending pedophiles are a unique population of individuals who experience sexual interest in children, but despite common misperceptions, have neither had sexual contact with a child nor have accessed illegal child sexual exploitation material. An emerging body of research has examined the prevalence of pedophilic interests, characteristics of nonoffending pedophiles, correlates of pedophilic interests, and stigma associated with pedophilia. Treatment programs are beginning to produce findings regarding the effectiveness of treatment in supporting non-offending pedophiles to remain offence-free. The current review spans these areas of research and discusses potential treatment options for working with non-offending pedophiles based on that research base.
“…17 Generally, loneliness is a response to a lack of a positive satisfying relationship with others. 18 This condition affects individuals' social identity and self-perception. 19 Studies by Lecours et al 20 and Henderson et al 21 found that social interactions, in addition to major effects on development, promote other aspects of life in various dimensions, including emotional issues 22 ; shy people experience less emotional expression due to gaps in these interactions.…”
Background: Shyness is a main cause of poor results in the educational environment. The present study aimed at studying relationship between alexithymia (the inability to recognize or describe one’s own emotions) and shyness in nursing students, with mediating roles of loneliness and social identity. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was based on structural equation modeling, specific regression equations, and a statistical population of 658 nursing students at Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences in 2018. A sample of 331 students was selected. To collect the data, Toronto’s Alexithymia Scale, Russell, Peplau and Cutrona’s Loneliness Scale, Safarinia’s Social Identity Questionnaire and Briggs, Cheek and Buss’ Shyness Scale were used. Results: The findings from regression analysis showed that there was a direct effect between alexithymia and shyness and an indirect effect between alexithymia and shyness with mediating factors of loneliness and social identity (P<0.01). In total, alexithymia, feelings of loneliness, and perception of social identity had a predictive power of 0.51% of shyness. Conclusion: The results of this study show the effect of alexithymia and the role of moderating influences on feelings of loneliness and social identity perceptions and shyness among nursing students, which can provide useful practical applications to advisers and trainers in order to improve the psychological state of nursing students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
