青少年特别容易感到孤独。不同社会环境的变化以及无法科普这些变化会导致不同类型的孤独。根据对孤独的多维观点，孤独可以在与同龄人和父母的关系中体验到，并且可以通过考虑对孤独的态度（即，正面和负面）。然而，我们还不知道孤独和对孤独的态度是如何在青春期发展的。这些发展趋势进行了检查，在两个样本的佛兰德青少年组成的834名青少年（61.9%的女孩，M（年龄）= 14.84;样本1），和968名青少年（58.6%的女孩，M（年龄）= 14.82;样本2），分别。青少年填写的孤独和孤独量表的儿童和青少年（LACA）在正常的学校时间在三个（样本1）和四个（样本2）测量场合，间隔1年。应用潜伏生长曲线模型（LGCM）。与理论观点一致，青少年的父母相关的孤独感和对孤独的积极态度预计将增加，青少年的同伴相关的孤独感和对孤独的消极态度预计将减少。明确的证据被发现的假设对孤独的态度。关于同伴相关的孤独感的结果是不一致的样本和父母相关的孤独感下降，这与理论预期相反。一般来说，这两种类型的孤独和对孤独的态度在青春期发生了不同的变化，这表明了对孤独的多维观点的附加价值。
Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to experiencing feelings of loneliness. Changes in different social contexts and the inability to cope with these changes can result in different types of loneliness. According to the multidimensional view on loneliness, loneliness can be experienced in relationships with peers and parents and can be placed in a broader perspective by taking into account attitudes toward aloneness (i.e., positive and negative). However, we do not yet know how loneliness and attitudes toward aloneness develop across adolescence. These developmental trends were examined in two samples of Flemish adolescents consisting of 834 adolescents (61.9% girls, M (age) = 14.84; Sample 1), and 968 adolescents (58.6% girls, M (age) = 14.82; Sample 2), respectively. Adolescents filled out the Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents (LACA) during regular school hours on three (Sample 1) and four (Sample 2) measurement occasions with a 1-year interval. Latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) was applied. In line with theoretical notions, adolescents' parent-related loneliness and positive attitude toward aloneness were expected to increase, and adolescents' peer-related loneliness and negative attitude toward aloneness were expected to decrease. Clear evidence was found for the hypotheses regarding attitudes toward aloneness. The results regarding peer-related loneliness were inconsistent across samples and parent-related loneliness decreased, which was in contrast with theoretical expectations. In general, the two types of loneliness and attitudes toward aloneness changed in different directions during adolescence, suggesting the added value of a multidimensional view on loneliness.
