“…It is important to clarify the unidimensional construct of the different versions of the UCLA-LS and its ability to reflect loneliness [ 109 ]. Factor analysis in the present study showed a one-factor structure consistent with other translated T-ILS versions [ 8 , 36 , 77 , 83 , 84 ]. Another study using CFA found a perfect fit for the T-ILS with a unidimensional model [ 110 ].…”

“…Confirming its adequate psychometric properties, we provide evidence for good reliability of the T-ILS with a Cronbach's alpha higher than in the original study (0.72, [ 1 ]) and the Taiwanese version (0.76, [ 77 ]) and slightly higher than the other translated versions [ 8 , 36 , 83 ]. Our results also indicate that the Portuguese T-ILS is a stable measure with a good test-retest similar to other versions [ 36 ] and consistent with the conceptualization of loneliness as a stable personality trait, although dependent on circumstances [ 1 ].…”

“…Each T-ILS item assesses one of three previously established dimensions (relational, social, and intimate loneliness). Since then, this small scale has been translated and validated in other countries, presenting good psychometric properties [ 8 , 36 , 77 , [83] , [84] , [85] ]. It has also been used in online surveys [ 86 ] and large-scale studies [ 19 , 25 , [87] , [88] , [89] ].…”

“…The scale has the response items 1 = “ Hardly ever ,” 2 = “ Some of the time ,” and 3 = “ Often ” thus the total scores range from three to nine and the higher the score, the greater the level of loneliness (Hughes et al, 2004). The TILS is reliable with an alpha of .75 (Garg et al, 2023) and .82 (Trucharte et al, 2021). For the current study, the Cronbach alpha was .78.…”

This paper explored the determinants of well-being, quality of relationships (QOR), and loneliness among people of Botswana before and during the novel COVID-19 pandemic. It also examined whether there were significant differences between participants’ well-being, loneliness, and QOR before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors associated with the well-being, loneliness, and QOR of the Botswana population before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were also explored. A cross-sectional design was used to collect information on the three variables before and during the COVID-19 pandemic using online platforms. Convenience sampling was used to recruit participants ( N = 422) using the WHO-5, Three-Item Loneliness Scale, and the Relationship Quality Index (RQI). Data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate mixed-effects linear models. Age, relationship status, concern about own and family health, difficulty switching on and off media reporting on COVID, change in lifestyle, participation in sports, and resting were significantly associated with well-being ( p < .001) and loneliness ( p < .05). Sleep was associated with QOR. There were significant differences in the well-being, QOR, and loneliness scores before COVID-19 conditions and during COVID-19 conditions. Stakeholders should take cognizance of the impact of predictor variables on well-being and loneliness to mitigate the impact of current and future pandemics.

PurposeThis study evaluates gratitude's role in developing nonviolent work behaviour. It also examines the mediating effect of constructive deviance in the relationship between gratitude and nonviolent work behaviour.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on responses from 424 working professionals engaged in different Indian industries: banks, insurance, IT, manufacturing, hotel and software. The respondents were approached both physically and electronically using convenience sampling. Also, the data were collected in three phases four months apart, utilizing the benefits of a repeated cross-sectional research design. Structural equation modelling examines the relationship between gratitude and nonviolent work behaviour. Model fit indices are also assessed for two models (without a mediator and with a mediator). Total, direct and indirect effects are calculated using AMOS 21 to study the mediating effect of constructive deviance.FindingsFindings reveal that all three dimensions of gratitude (lack of sense of deprivation, simple appreciation and appreciation for others) are positively associated with nonviolent work behaviour. The results also confirm the mediating effect of constructive deviance.Originality/valueThis is one of the pioneer studies exploring gratitude's role in ensuring nonviolent work behaviour.
