Abstract | In this study, we examined how undergraduates talk about their experiences of loneliness. Six focus group discussions were conducted with 42 undergraduates (29 women, 13 men) at a private university. We coded participants' comments by themes. Themes that occurred most frequently included: (1) ingroups vs. outgroups, (2) intervention for loneliness, (3) maintaining an image, (4) superficial interactions, (5) lack of a confidante, (6) loneliness in the presence of others, (7) roommates, (8) common nature of loneliness, (9) geographical location of school and transportation by car, (10) self-blame, (11) dating relationships, and (12) fear of missing out. We suggest that efforts to alleviate loneliness among undergraduates take into consideration these themes. (As Provided). |
