本研究采用潜在增长混合模型，以辨别不同的轨迹的孤独感收集的数据在2年的时间间隔从7-17岁（N = 586），并检查是否在5岁时采取的措施是很好的预测群体成员资格。四个孤独轨迹类：（1）低稳定（37%的样本），（2）中度下降（23%），（3）中度增加（18%），（4）相对高稳定（22%）。预测在5岁的高稳定的轨迹是低信任的信念，低信任，低同侪接受，父母报告的负面反应，内化归因风格，低自我价值，并在观察到的发挥被动。该模型还包括结果变量。我们发现，高度稳定和中度增长的轨迹都与抑郁症状、更高的看医生频率和17岁时较低的总体健康状况有关。我们讨论了未来的实证研究结果的影响。(C)2013年青少年服务专业人员基金会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
The present study employed latent growth mixture modeling to discern distinct trajectories of loneliness using data collected at 2-year intervals from age 7-17 years (N = 586) and examine whether measures taken at age 5 years were good predictors of group membership. Four loneliness trajectory classes were identified: (1) low stable (37% of the sample), (2) moderate decliners (23%), (3) moderate increasers (18%), and (4) relatively high stable (22%). Predictors at age 5 years for the high stable trajectory were low trust beliefs, low trusting, low peer acceptance, parent reported negative reactivity, an internalizing attribution style, low self-worth, and passivity during observed play. The model also included outcome variables. We found that both the high stable and moderate increasing trajectories were associated with depressive symptoms, a higher frequency of visits to the doctor, and lower perceived general health at age 17. We discuss implications of findings for future empirical work. (C) 2013 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
