Loneliness Scale UCLA

Test scores

Reflects the overall level of perceived loneliness and dissatisfaction with one's social relationships.

Higher scores indicate greater feelings of isolation, lack of companionship, and perceived social disconnection.

Scores around the mid-range (30-50) are typically observed in general populations, though values vary across samples.

Loneliness is the subjective feeling of being socially disconnected or lacking meaningful relationships, regardless of the actual number of social contacts.
