1.1. BackgroundA growing body of research demonstrates that loneliness is a prevalent problem with adverse health consequences, including premature mortality (Cacioppo and Cacioppo, 2014, 2018; Valtorta et al., 2016). Such findings have prompted attention to the remediation of high rates of loneliness (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2017). Typical candidate intervention targets have included increased social contact and social support (Masi et al., 2011). To date, personal financial shocks have not been considered relevant intervention targets. Loneliness theory and intervention research would benefit from data showing that life experiences that are only indirectly related to social relationships–such as financial shocks–can have an impact on feelings of isolation.
