Janne Vanhalst,Theo A. Klimstra,Koen Luyckx,Ron H. J. Scholte,Rutger C. M. E. Engels,Luc Goossens +5 more

Low self-esteem as a risk factor for loneliness in adolescence: Perceived – but not actual – social acceptance as an underlying mechanism

TL;DR: A five-wave cohort-sequential longitudinal study spanning ages 15 to 20 showed that loneliness generally decreased over time, and underscore the additional value of studying subgroups regarding the development of loneliness.
