چکیده
A Rasch-type loneliness scale was administered in two separate studies. The fwd involved a sample of 708 unemployed, occupationally disabled and employed men and women. The second involved a sample of 412 married, unmarried, divorced and widowed women and men. The efects of being with or without a partner, the respondents' evaluation of the supportive function of the partner, and different types of problem situationr were examined. The results revealed a decrease in loneliness scores as a function of the positive evaluation of partner support. A bufferefect for partner support was not found. However, the effect of the partner's support varied with the type of problem under invesligation. It is concluded that in the event of externally caused problem, such as unemployment, the support provided by the partner is of some use, but nevertheless falls short in dealing with the problem. The support fiom other individuals in the network seems indispensable.
