Abstract

This longitudinal study ( N = 1078, 46% boys; 54% girls) examined profiles of loneliness and ostracism during adolescence and their consequences and antecedents. Longitudinal latent profiles analyses identified four distinct profiles: (1) High emotional loneliness (25%), High and increasing social loneliness (15%), High peer exclusion and high social impact (9%) and No peer problems (51%). Subsequent internalizing problems were typical for the High and increasing social loneliness profile and externalizing problems for the High emotional loneliness and High peer exclusion and high social impact profiles. Furthermore, effortful control, prosocial skills, and relationship quality with parents and teachers were highest in the No peer problems profile, whereas the High and increasing social loneliness profile had the lowest self-esteem and was characterized by low surgency/extraversion, high affiliativeness, and high negative affectivity.

  • Previous studies have also spotlighted the close relationships between loneliness and externalizing problems, including hyperactivity, conduct problems and violent acts.

    “Previous studies have also spotlighted the close relationships between loneliness and externalizing problems, including hyperactivity, conduct problems and violent acts.”

    From A Longitudinal Study of Loneliness Before the End of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Trajectories, Predictors, and Impact on Chinese Adolescent Mental Health (2024) · cites this paper as [42]

    The “Psychological Consequences of Prolonged Loneliness and Ostracism” section (page not supplied) describes proposed links with conduct problems and violent acts, and the Results report more externalizing problems in adolescents with loneliness or ostracism profiles than in those with no peer problems. The copy does not identify hyperactivity as part of that relationship; its stated externalizing measures are conduct problems and police contact. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
