Nevertheless, few studies have examined how loneliness and isolation relate to each other, and other outcomes, over time. Using the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study, a UK population-representative cohort of 2,232 individuals born in 1994–1995 (49% male, 90% White), we investigated how loneliness and isolation are related across time and jointly influence outcomes. Loneliness and isolation were assessed at ages 12 and 18. Mental health, well-being, health behaviors, and socioeconomic outcomes were measured at age 18. Loneliness and isolation were concurrently and longitudinally associated with each other across adolescence. Loneliness marginally moderated the stability of social isolation from age-12 to 18 (β = ‒0.08, p = 0.08) but did not observe a buffering effect, with isolated children who experienced loneliness experiencing high isolation in young adulthood. Age-12 loneliness and isolation were independently associated with poorer mental health, well-being, and socioeconomic outcomes (β = ‒0.18–0.10, p < 0.05), though experiencing both was not associated with worse outcomes. Our findings underline the pervasive impacts of childhood loneliness and isolation and challenge the view that loneliness drives social reconnection in early life.

The developmental course of loneliness in adolescence: Implications for mental health, educational attainment, and psychosocial functioning / Timothy MATTHEWS in Development and Psychopathology, 35-2 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 35-2 (May 2023) . - p.537-546 Titre : The developmental course of loneliness in adolescence: Implications for mental health, educational attainment, and psychosocial functioning Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Timothy MATTHEWS, Auteur ; Pamela QUALTER, Auteur ; Bridget T. BRYAN, Auteur ; Avshalom CASPI, Auteur ; Andrea DANESE, Auteur ; Terrie E. MOFFITT, Auteur ; Candice L. ODGERS, Auteur ; Lily STRANGE, Auteur ; Louise ARSENEAULT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.537-546 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence  development  loneliness  mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study examined patterns of stability and change in loneliness across adolescence. Data were drawn from the Environmental Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study, a UK population-representative cohort of 2,232 individuals born in 1994 and 1995. Loneliness was assessed when participants were aged 12 and 18. Loneliness showed modest stability across these ages (r = .25). Behavioral genetic modeling indicated that stability in loneliness was explained largely by genetic influences (66%), while change was explained by nonshared environmental effects (58%). Individuals who reported loneliness at both ages were broadly similar to individuals who only reported it at age 18, with both groups at elevated risk of mental health problems, physical health risk behaviors, and education and employment difficulties. Individuals who were lonely only at age 12 generally fared better; however, they were still more likely to finish school with lower qualifications. Positive family influences in childhood predicted reduced risk of loneliness at age 12, while negative peer experiences increased the risk. Together, the findings show that while early adolescent loneliness does not appear to exert a cumulative burden when it persists, it is nonetheless a risk for a range of concomitant impairments, some of which can endure.
