Loneliness during COVID-19: Development and influencing factors

Charikleia Lampraki et al.

Summary: In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing and reduced social contact were effective measures to slow down the spread of the virus. However, these measures also led to negative effects such as increased loneliness. A study with 737 participants found that emotional loneliness increased over time while social loneliness remained stable. Loss of specific social connections and reduced overall social interactions were associated with increasing loneliness.

Summary: Social distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed social interaction significantly, leading to increased risk of loneliness in the general population.

How Adolescents Use Social Media to Cope with Feelings of Loneliness and Anxiety During COVID-19 Lockdown

Verolien Cauberghe et al.

Summary: The study suggests that for adolescents, using social media as a proactive coping strategy during the COVID-19 quarantine to deal with feelings of anxiety can be beneficial, more so than coping with feelings of loneliness. Anxiety can indirectly affect happiness through active coping, while loneliness is more likely to lead adolescents to use social media for coping. Humorous coping is positively correlated with happiness, but is not influenced by feelings of loneliness or anxiety.
