A 16-item
self-report measure of loneliness and social dissatisfaction was
developed to survey 506 third- through sixth-grade children. The
measure was found to be internally reliable; more than 10 percent
of subjects reported feelings of loneliness and social dissatisfaction;
and children's feelings of loneliness were significantly related
to their sociometric status. (Author/RH)
