孤独的技能缺乏观点认为，缺乏技能的社会交往阻碍了孤独的个体融入社会。目前的研究探讨孤独感与社会关注和感知过程的关系，这些过程被认为对社会技能行为很重要。两项研究调查了社会监控（对社会信息和线索的关注）与自我报告的孤独感和密切社会关系数量之间的关系。在研究1中，更高水平的孤独感与附带社会记忆的增加而不是减少有关。在研究2中，报告朋友较少的人表现出对面部和声音中社交线索的高度解码。这些研究的结果表明，在孤独的个体中，社会技能行为的注意力和感知构建块保持不变，也许还得到了增强。最近的归属调节模型和理论的孤独的影响进行了讨论。
The skill-deficit view of loneliness posits that unskilled social interactions block lonely individuals from social inclusion. The current studies examine loneliness in relation to social attention and perception processes thought to be important for socially skilled behavior. Two studies investigate the association between social monitoring (attention to social information and cues) and self-reported loneliness and number of close social ties. In Study 1, higher levels of loneliness are related to increased rather than decreased incidental social memory. In Study 2, individuals with fewer reported friends show heightened decoding of social cues in faces and voices. Results of these studies suggest that the attentional and perceptual building blocks of socially skilled behavior remain intact, and perhaps enhanced, in lonely individuals. Implications for recent models of belonging regulation and theories of loneliness are discussed.
