Abstract

The current study examines the psychometric properties of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale: structural validity, reliability and external validity. We conducted a study on a sample of 247 high school students, all aged 16. In order to verify hypotheses, scales measuring feeling of loneliness, shyness and self-esteem were administered. As a result of confirmatory factor analyses, it has been demonstrated that the structure of R-UCLA is three-factorial, the factors presents as follows: (1) intimate others, referring to the feeling of exclusion; (2) social others, referring to the lack of closeness and support in relationships; and (3) belonging and affiliation, referring to the lack of community bonds—all of which are reliable in their measurement as well as the total score of R-UCLA. Moreover, we demonstrated that the feeling of loneliness is positively related with shyness and negatively related with self-esteem. The obtained results support using the R-UCLA among Polish adolescents.
修订UCLA孤独量表在波兰青少年样本中的心理测量特征分析
本研究考察了UCLA孤独感量表的结构效度、信度和外部效度。我们对247名16岁的高中生进行了一项研究。为了验证假设,我们使用了测量孤独感、羞怯感和自尊感的量表。验证性因子分析结果表明,R-UCLA的结构是三因子的,其影响因素表现为:(1)亲密他人,指的是排斥感;(2)社会性他人,指在人际关系中缺乏亲近和支持;(3)归属感和隶属关系,指的是缺乏社区纽带——所有这些都是可靠的测量和R-UCLA的总分。此外,我们还发现孤独感与羞怯正相关,与自尊负相关。所得结果支持在波兰青少年中使用R-UCLA。
