solution to the problem, but rather a need to take an individual approach, the authors of the study say. <\/p>\n<p>Rowena Leary, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Education at the University of York, said: &#8220;One of the most striking findings of our study was how different people are, with individuals experiencing the same situations as hell or bliss. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lockdown was an extraordinary event and presented a fascinating opportunity to explore how people of all ages experience loneliness. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prior to lockdown there was a lot of emphasis on loneliness in older generations, but we now know that other demographics and particularly young people are also at risk. Our study emphasizes the need to look at how loneliness can affect people across the whole life span.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The study identified three key types of loneliness from participants&#8217; answers to their questions: Social loneliness due to a lack of contact with friends or family; emotional loneliness due to a lack of close connections such as romantic relationships, and existential loneliness where people felt entirely separate from other people. <\/p>\n<p>Ms. Leary added: &#8220;Existential loneliness is often brought on by contemplation of death or dying, which likely explains why many people experienced it during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an interesting type of loneliness because there is no obvious way\u2014such as providing opportunities to socialize\u2014to help people who are experiencing it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The researchers would like to carry out further research into what makes some people more resilient to loneliness than others. <\/p>\n<p>Senior author of the study, Professor Kathryn Asbury from the Department of Education said: &#8220;COVID has shown us on a grand scale that it isn&#8217;t always possible for people to be with others.  It seems important to identify strategies for coping with being alone\u2014maybe even benefiting from it sometimes\u2014and to consider how we can help diverse individuals to learn and use such strategies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There might be something we can learn from people who enjoy solitude that could help the increasing number of people who suffer a great deal from loneliness,&#8221; Ms. Leary added.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-medium text-info mt-2 d-inline-block\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2022-05-covid-pandemic-loneliness-world.html\">COVID-19 pandemic led to increase in loneliness around the world<\/a>\n                                        <\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Rowena Leary et al, Alone in the COVID\u201019 lockdown: An exploratory study, <i>Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy<\/i> (2022).  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1111\/asap.12317\">DOI: 10.1111\/asap.12317<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of York<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/phys.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Research reveals the complexity of loneliness during lockdown (2022, July  1)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved  1 July 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-07-reveals-complexity-loneliness-lockdown.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
