Quality of Marriage and Social Loneliness in Later Life
نویسندگان
چکیده
Loneliness is the subjective, unpleasant experience of a perceived discrepancy between the quantity and quality of existing relationships (e.g., with spouse, children, friends) and the relationships one wishes (De Jong Gierveld, Van Tilburg, & Dykstra, 2006; Perlman & Peplau, 1981). Loneliness has to be differentiated from social isolation that concerns the objective characteristics of a situation. The opposite of loneliness encompasses social integration and feelings of social embedment. A varied social network and optimal exchanges of support with members of one’s social network are crucial elements affecting social embedment and alleviating loneliness, and consequently quality of life and life expectancy (Hawkley, Hughes, Waite, Masi, Thisted, & Cacioppo, 2008; HoltLunstad, Smith, & Layton, 2010; Pinquart & Sörensen, 2001).
