New blog post on loneliness and time spent alone in daily life!

This provides insights into how loneliness and time spent alone change in relation to gender, age, and relationship status (single v partnered).

One finding: it's not about gender. It's about age and relationships.

We also found that the relationship between being alone and loneliness is different across the lifespan.

New blog post on my recent paper on loneliness. We used the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) to get a gold standard observational measure of spending time alone in daily life. We compared this to self-reported loneliness. Punchline is the graph I included at the end of the article.
