Loneliness in High Risk Adolescents: The Role of Coping, Self-Esteem, and Empathy (2002, methodology): “…validity was reported at r 5 0.74 (Solano, 1980) and r 5 0.72 (Ellison & Paloutzian, 1979) in comparison with other loneliness measures, as well as correlation coef cients of r 5 0.72 and r 5 0.79 with selfreported statements of loneliness for a non-student population (Russell, 1982).”
Measures of Social Isolation (2017, methodology): “The questions chosen to measure loneliness are a short module of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) (Russell 1996, 1982) and the de Jong Gierveld short scales for emotional and social loneliness (de Jong Gierveld and Van Tilburg 2006, 2010).”
Loneliness: Clinical Import and Interventions (2015, result): “These results are consistent with several studies indicating that having a significant partner/spouse is associated with lower levels of intimate loneliness and, reciprocally, that losing a partner (through divorce or widowhood) is linked to greater intimate loneliness (e.g., J. T. Cacioppo & Patric”
Measurement and Validity Characteristics of the Short Version of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (2004, background): “One perspective regards loneliness as a unitary state that varies only in intensity and is the result of deficits in a variety of relationships (Russell, 1982, 1996; Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980).”

Perceived Social Isolation Makes Me Sad: Five Year Cross-Lagged Analyses of Loneliness and Depressive Symptomatology in the Chicago Health, Aging, and Social Relations Study (2010, unknown): “…Pellmar, Kleinman, & Bunney, 2002; Wenz, 1977), and depression (Cacioppo, Hughes, Waite, Hawkley, & Thisted, 2006; Peplau, Russell, & Heim, 1979; Russell, 1982; Russell, Cutrona, Rose, & Yurko, 1984; Russell, PepJohn T. Cacioppo and Louise C. Hawkley, Center for Cognitive and Social…”
Influences on Loneliness in Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis (2001, methodology): “Loneliness may be a state or a trait (Russell, 1982); research using diary entries suggests a significant level of situational variability in reported loneliness.”
Use of Direct Versus Indirect Approaches to Measure Loneliness in Later Life (2012, background): “Added to that is the reliability problem of single-item measures (Marangoni & Ickes, 1989) and the multiple versions of the single loneliness item used in different inquires that complicate cross-study comparisons (Russell, 1982).”
