“…18,19,23,24,29,32,43 Several studies recommended that the pediatric hearing-impaired population learn socioemotional skills to improve social participation and gain coping strategies. 21,29,30,39,40,45,46 A less frequently reported recommendation was for this population to take communication courses to improve sign language and verbal communication (four studies). 21,23,30,43…”

Social Isolation and Loneliness in the Hearing‐Impaired Pediatric Population: A Scoping Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To review existing publications in order to evaluate the effect of hearing loss on social isolation and loneliness in the pediatric population.Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines were followed. Eight databases were searched. Studies were independently screened and analyzed by two reviewers. Publications were included if pediatric hearing-impaired individuals and social isolation or loneliness were studied. Discrepancies were resolved by a team of five reviewers.Results: Thirty-three studies were included in this review. Sixty percent of studies (12/20) found that hearing loss was related to loneliness and 64.7% found that children with hearing loss experienced more social isolation (11/17). The Asher Loneliness and Dissatisfaction Questionnaire was commonly used to assess loneliness. No commonly used tool for assessing social isolation was found. Six articles found that school type was not associated with loneliness. Difficulty communicating was the most mentioned factor leading to loneliness and social isolation. Frequent recommendations to improve social integration included facilitating interactions with the hearing-impaired and educating the nonhearing-impaired to normalize the disability. Conclusion:The majority of studies found that hearing impairment results in a higher prevalence of social isolation and loneliness. However, an association cannot be definitively claimed due to the lack of uniform assessment tools. This review emphasizes the need for standardized methods to assess loneliness and social isolation and highlights methods to improve social integration for the hearing impaired.

“…Supporting this position, there is a considerable body of evidence supporting the assertion that social wellbeing is indeed correlated with extraversion (Deng et al, 2021). People with higher extraversion have been shown to be more averse to aloneness; to respond to social stimuli with greater attention, reward, and positivity; and to have greater social capital and support compared to people with higher introversion (Dumitrache et al, 2018; Fishman et al, 2011; Fishman and Ng, 2013; Jacques-Hamilton et al, 2018; Lu et al, 2014; Smillie, 2013; Swickert et al, 2002; Teppers et al, 2013; Tulin et al, 2018). All of this evidence lends credibility to the belief that people with higher introversion enjoy solitude, whereas people with higher extraversion need social connection to thrive.…”

This study examines whether extraversion moderates the association between subjective happiness and measures of social connectedness using data from Canadian residents, aged 16+, recruited online during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (21 April 2021–1 June 2021). To accomplish this aim we tested the moderating effect of extraversion scores on the association between Subjective Happiness scores and several social health measures: Perceived Social Support, Loneliness, social network size, and time with friends. Among 949 participants, results show that lower social loneliness ( p < .001) and higher social support from friends ( p = .001) and from family ( p = .007) was more strongly correlated with subjective happiness for people with low extraversion compared to those with high extroversion. Anti-loneliness interventions should consider the need to promote social connections among individuals across the introversion-extraversion continuum.

“…A recent study by Erickson et al (2021) presented the relationship between extraversion and total cortisol output to be curvilinear (and inverted U shape). In addition, Lu et al (2014) observed that extraversion moderates the relationship between loneliness and peer attachment, a measure that has been associated with interindividual differences in HPA axis activity (e.g., Hicks and Diamond, 2011 ; Kidd et al, 2013 ; Pietromonaco and Powers, 2015 ).…”

Pre-pandemic Psychobiological Features Predict Impact of COVID-19 Confinement on Loneliness

et al. 2022

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to various government-imposed limitations on social interaction and strict home confinement. Such involuntary social-distancing policies can exacerbate feelings of loneliness and alter emotional well-being. Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis is a potential mechanism for loneliness’ deleterious health effects. In this study, we explored whether pre-pandemic diurnal cortisol output (AUCG), a measure of HPA axis function, may predict the propensity to changes in loneliness during long-term COVID-19 home confinement and if extraversion would moderate this relationship. This association has been explored by analysing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and strict home confinement on social and emotional loneliness in 45 Spanish young adults. Diurnal cortisol levels were measured from five saliva samples obtained across a day just before the pandemic, and data about participants’ perceived loneliness, empathic state, extraversion, and prospective volunteering were obtained both before and during the confinement. Participants’ social and family loneliness increased during long-term strict home confinement, while prospective volunteering tendencies and extraversion decreased. Importantly, after adjusting for relevant confounders, moderation analyses revealed that in young adults with high pre-pandemic extraversion, a higher AUCG predicted a larger increase in social loneliness during confinement, while in individuals with low extraversion, AUCG was negatively related to change in loneliness. Our findings highlight the utility of pre-pandemic diurnal cortisol output in predicting the social impact of COVID-19 home confinement, presenting this hormone as a potential biomarker for a priori identification of at-risk groups during public health crises.
