Contextual correlates of loneliness in adolescents
Open accessAbstract
Loneliness is a common problem that can affect an individual’s physical and mental wellbeing. While loneliness has been extensively researched among older people, relatively few studies have investigated loneliness in the adolescent population. In this study, we aim to explore the association between loneliness and contextual factors in a large sample of young people. Data stem from the “National Youth Health Monitor” of the Dutch region of South Limburg. Respondents were 7956 Dutch adolescents aged between 12 and 18. Multivariate logistic analyses were performed to assess the strength of association between loneliness and factors in the domains of family, school, and social media. In the current study, 19.4% of adolescents reported being lonely. Parental divorce, having an ill family member, being bullied at school, poor student-teacher relationship, and problematic use of social media were factors significantly associated with loneliness. Family- and school-based awareness programs may help protect students from developing problematic levels of loneliness..

The Results (§3.2; page unavailable) link bullying and family disruptions with adolescent loneliness, while the Introduction describes peer relationships and family support as relevant. The paper does not establish the full claimed list: its reported analysis does not include low economic status, poor friendship quality, or lack of emotional support as measured correlates, and the Introduction describes poor health chiefly as an outcome associated with loneliness. The claim of more severe loneliness also exceeds the reported association with loneliness. (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.
