You can have a family and feel lonely. Most of us associate home with the family, a safe place, full of warmth and love. Unfortunately, as it turns out, it is not always so. Changes occurring in the world today are linked to the transformation of the family. Parents focus on paid work, career, consumerism, pushing offspring to the second place . Children left to themselves, deprived of affection, interest, care- more often feel lonely and „hungry” of affection and love. This phenomenon occurs not only in pathological families, but also increasingly in the so-called normal families.

Aim: To study the in/direct relationship between fear of COVID-19 contraction and academic stress during the first wave of the pandemic. Method: The sample consisted of 835 university students (597 female students, 71.5%, M = 22.71 years of age, SD = 3.69). Data were gathered online by the questionnaire of the international study The COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study (C19 ISWS). Results: An above-average level of academic stress and a below-average gender-related level of fear of contracting the virus were found. The relationship between fear of contracting the virus and academic stress was serially mediated by loneliness and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: The findings stress the importance of monitoring the level of fear of virus contraction and the student-perceived perspective of academic achievement during actions taken by academic authorities to support the quality of teaching and students’ mental health.

The study examines the associations of emotion understanding, interpersonal competencies, loneliness and correlated variables (perceived social support, quality of social networks). Two conceptual models of relations were tested. In the first model it was hypothesized that interpersonal competencies mediate relations between emotion understanding and loneliness, perceived social support and quality of social networks. In the second model emotion understanding was tested as a moderator of relationships between interpersonal competencies and loneliness, perceived social support and quality of social networks. Study 1 (n = 221) provided only a weak confirmation of the mediatory model, restricted to men. Study 2 (n = 206), employing different measures of emotion understanding and loneliness, confirmed weakly both the mediatory and moderatory models. In both studies a direct negative correlation between emotion understanding and loneliness was not confirmed.

Background: The main aim of the presented study is to identify the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction of seniors. It was expected that high score of loneliness will correspond to lower score of satisfaction with life. Methods: The group consisted of 161 people (53 male and 108 female, age range 60-105 years old) took part in this study. The data was collected using following tools: UCLA Loneliness Scale by Russell, Peplau and Cutrona, Attitude Profile-Revised LAP-R by Reker and a survey of our own authorship allows to collect socio-demographic data. Correlation and regression methods have been used to find relationship between the variables. Findings: Results of the study show some correlations between loneliness and satisfaction with life (r=0,49 for social connections, r=0,57 for belonging to social group, r=-0,53 for lack of contact). Furthermore, regression analysis shows that lack of contact, social connections and sense of belonging explain about 94% of the variance of life satisfaction. Discussion: The implementation of these results to the psychological care for the elderly might contribute to improving their quality of life.

The paper reports the results of a comparative analysis of the two groups students coming from temporarily disconnected families due to foreign work parents (TDF, n = 68; male = 30, female = 38) and teenagers with the same social environment (NDF, n = 179, male = 89, female = 90), but without the experience of separation time (N= 247). The subject of the analysis was: the cohesion of a family from the perspective of the evaluated adolescent and three factors of psychological loneliness: social loneliness (sense of social marginalization and isolation), emotional loneliness (solitude) and existential loneliness (sense of self-alienation). The Loneliness Scale (SBS) was used based on an original concept of multidimensional sense of loneliness. The questionnaire for the survey of family cohesion (KSR) were used too. The age (12-14 and 15-17), gender, family structure and the family lifestyle were controlled. Obtained results revealed significantly lower cohesion and significantly higher existential loneliness in group of teenagers from temporarily disconnected families (TDF). Not confirmed the supposition that made in earlier studies of temporarily disconnected families due to economic migration, that these teenagers suffer from a sense of emotional loneliness There has also confirmed the belief that the level of family cohesion and a sense of loneliness in adolescents is associated with atypical organization of family life associated with the duration of migration of parent/parents, frequency of contact with family members working abroad: mothers, fathers or broth parents, the duration of stays at home

Seeing sets our place in the surrounding world about which the ubiquitous screens convince a modern inhabitant: LED displays, monitors of the video games, cash machines, MP4 players etc. Located in the iconosphere of a town, the screens constitute a new space causing "loss of a place and projection". A screen image is an alternative text to the first reality and it is simulated, received more tangibly than visually which causes a new sense of space, based not on the territory but on the community in the picture transmission. A screen ceases to engage a passer-by and becomes an indication of a non-place which Marc Augé characterises through: the exchange of the place for anthropological space, uncertainty of the materialisation of space and the primacy of vision over the experience of space. Non-places do not create identity or relations, but only similarity and loneliness. The plane of the "meeting" is the consumerism attitude, and an identity based on a continuous consumption might be called transparent.

Passing, departing of man became an awkward subject in the contemporary civilization (avoiding problems of old age and death, the cult of the body). However, the problem of solitude affect's man at every time of his or her life. Therefore, there is a need to seek solutions in the interdisciplinary dimension conducive to the elimination of loneliness of older people (or at least to contribute to their reduction) and relieve the consequences. Active participation of older people in the life of family and society is very important. People supporting the elderly (physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers) should promote the concept of old age being valuable, full of possibilities, often hidden developmental reserves.

Stanisław Wyspiański (1869–1907) was the Polish dramatist, the poet, besides the illustrator and the painter, one of the best known artist of the Young Poland movement. His journey to Europe (particulary to Paris) became very important experience in his life. He discovered the value of loneliness, he had to be alone – as an artist and as a man. He was called “a hermit from Cracow” and for this reason his genius was not always appreciated. However, at the end of life, Wyspiański undergoes a significant transformation: he feels a strong connection to community, as a member of the nation and society, as well as a host.

Introduction: Among bereaved families, numerous tensions, stressors, and anxieties that are direct consequences of the loss of close relatives can be observed. Effective mitigation of these concerns depends heavily on the depth of the feeling of loneliness as well as on various factors that determine it. Purpose: To determine the impact of the death of a parent on children’s feelings of loneliness within their own families. Material and methods: A total of 10 families (6 mothers, 4 fathers, and 15 children) from the city of Białystok who had been in mourning during the two-year period were included in this qualitative research. The case study method was applied in addition to the following research techniques: structured interview, narrative interview, the Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank projective technique, and an analysis of children’s activity products (essay entitled “My Family”). Results: The youngest children were characterized by less-intense feelings of loneliness, as they do not yet understand the irreversibility of death, whereas children at ages 12 to 14, aware of human life’s stability and persistence, felt the state of loneliness significantly more deeply. To cope with its presence, the children and their families usually used informal social support (parents, grandparents, siblings, or friends) rather than seeking the help of qualified social service professionals. Conclusions: Talking with children about death and remembering a deceased parent with them are integral parts of the mourning process. Before children can accept their loss, they feel a great need for talking and having the company of other family members in experiencing their pain. There are a number of critically important tasks that a family in mourning needs to face, including the following: helping to understand the need for breaking personal ties with the deceased and reducing the internal tension caused by the loss; modifying former structure, duties, and family roles; and the need for the bereaved family, especially its children, to find new relationships in the outside world.

At present, loneliness is called a 21 prepared by a special British government commission, 9 million adults in the UK are 21st century civilisation disease. According to a report prepared by a special British government commission, 9 million adults in the UK are often or always lonely. From the beginning of the century we have been observing a growing popularity for focusing on personal and professional development, and for a long time remaining single. However, this supports the development of egocentrism and hinders the subsequent building of intimate relationships with other people. Modern society does not support lonely people, perceiving them as freaks, loners and the weak ones. The behaviour of individuals is constantly assessed by society. Anyone who thinks or behaves differently is exposed to rejection. The young generation gains less and less experience in building relationships with others, which will affect their adult life. This raises the threat that the future society will focus on individualism increasing the threat ofdeep loneliness of the village paradoxically, in an increasingly larger society.

The purpose of this article is to present a way of showing loneliness in two separate literary works. In the novel, The Solitude of Wolves by Marek Harny, the main character is Marek Nowicki. The discourse on the individualʼs loneliness towards traumatic experiences with wolves related to their childhood and for the Polish-Ukrainian conflict of the twentieth century is taken into account. A similar theme is included in the title reportage – The Wolf Hunter – written in the form of a literary duo by Christoph Ransmayr and Martin Pollack. Such a report shows the experience of loneliness and helplessness of the Ukrainian, Vasil Borsuk, against the resettlement campaign called “Vistula”. The next part of the article presents a historical outline of the Polish-Ukrainian conflict in the Bieszczady Mountains as well as the aspects of characters’ life resulting from this conflict which make up the loneliness experienced by them. In addition, attempts have been made to prove that wolves which are inseparably connected with the lives of characters, are not just a background to the events of their lives, but constitute a kind of allegory of their fate.

A key characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are the difficulties in social interaction, comprising deficits in communication, reflecting of emotional states, and social competences. Difficulties in establishing and maintaining social relationships and functioning in peer groups are also frequent, which can lead to intense feelings of loneliness. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between the sense of loneliness, the intensity of autism spectrum traits, and cognitive functioning – especially verbal fluency. Fifty adolescents with ASD, aged between 13 and 19 years, together with 50 typically developing adolescents took part in the study. The study had a questionnaire character and used the Polish versions of the De Jong Gierveld Sense of Loneliness Scale and the adolescent version of Simon Baron-Cohen’s Autism Quotient Questionnaire. The participants’ cognitive functioning was tested during individual in-person meetings. The results showed that the sense of loneliness is related both to the presence of ASD as well as the intensity of its expression. Some relationships between the sense of loneliness and cognitive functioning test results were also revealed in the group of adolescents with ASD. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the perception of loneliness by ASD adolescents might be moderated by their level of cognitive functioning. However, these conclusions require further studies, which should include additional measures of cognitive functioning.

The present study investigated how Machiavellianism and loneliness are related to different aspects of self-disclosure online among young adults, including honesty, amount, intent, and positive valence. A total of 212 university students aged 18-30 completed four self-report questionnaires. The results confirmed the role of Machiavellianism and loneliness as predictors of distinct aspects of self-disclosure online, suggesting that Machiavellianism, but not loneliness, leads to strategic self-disclosures online. Specifically, Machiavellianism negatively predicted honesty of self-disclosure online, and loneliness positively predicted its amount and positive valence. No mediating effects of loneliness on the relationship between Machiavellianism and honesty of self-disclosure were found.

Lonely childhood constitutes one of the forms of children’s existence, bringing pain and suffering, which are caused by unfavourable situations and environmental conditions, mainly family-related, towards which a child is helpless, defenceless, and which lead to weakening or breaking the emotional bond between the child, parents, siblings or other family members and which always result in the child feeling lonely. The article is an attempt at a diagnosis of the situation of the child in the environment in which one of the parents is absent. The issues discussed are family determinants which can lead to loneliness. The aim of the research is also to show ways to prevent isolation of the child and to indicate some pedagogical strategies aimed at positive changes that should occur in the life of a child affected by loneliness.

The article addresses the issue of single motherhood for women in individual, social and pedagogical aspects. The personality and social conditions of single motherhood were analysed. Two main contexts of experiencing motherhood by contemporary women were pointed out, which are social norms and cultural patterns as well as individual, intrapsychic conditions of perceiving oneself as a mother. Social references and pedagogical conditions of single motherhood were shown. It was pointed out that the way women experience motherhood depends to a large extent on family, professional, colleague situations and random events. While discussing the issues of loneliness and solitude, the pedagogical aspect of this phenomenon and the multitude of possible attitudes and references to motherhood experienced were pointed out. The article indicates that social expectations for single mothers imply how women perceive their motherhood and how it affects the pedagogical dimension of its implementation. Motherhood as a conscious decision of a woman and as an undesirable state, as a consequence of events over which the woman-mother has no influence – these are other versions of motherhood described and analysed in the article. The article ends with considerations on the pedagogical dimension of the implementation of motherhood, and therefore on the role and place of children and family as the closest environment of women-mothers. The final part also indicates the need for institutional support for single mothers and their families.

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of optimism and loneliness levels of the students at the Faculty of Sports Sciences. For the purposes of data collection, two instruments were used: the ‘UCLA Scale’ which was developed by Russel et al [7] revised by Russel et al [8] and adapted into Turkish by Demir [9]; and the Optimism Scale which was developed by Balcı and Yılmaz [10] in order to explore students’ levels of loneliness and optimism. These questionnaires were administered to a total of 375 students consisting of 224 male and 151 female students. For data analysis, the SPSS statistical packet program was used for frequency analysis, and independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA and Tukey test were run to find out the source of the difference among different groups of participants. In addition, correlation analysis was performed to reveal the relationship between the students’ Levels of Optimism and Loneliness. Significant differences have been seen in the levels of optimism and loneliness among participants according to gender. (p<0,05) According to this, averages of female students are higher than male students in levels of loneliness. In terms of levels of optimism, averages of male student are higher than female students.
