摘要
The present study explored the influence of cultural background on the causes of loneliness. Three hundred and seventy five participants from North America and 375 from Croatia volunteered to answer an 82 item questionnaire which examined the antecedents of their loneliness experiences. Five factors comprise the causes of loneliness: Personal inadequacies, Developmental deficits, Unfulfilling intimate relationships, Relocation/significant separation, and Social marginality. North Americans scored significantly higher on all five factors. Gender differences within cultures were also noted.
