Live Q&A
Lonely individuals are more responsive to images of unpleasant social threats, that is,
instances of social rejection by others.In real‐life settings, loneliness was associated with increased eye gazing toward unfamiliar partners, with findings also revealing that lonely individuals have difficulties in interpreting eye gaze cues, a finding which correlated with reduced gray matter in the left posterior temporal sulcus. >https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8323026/
Loneliness is an affective state, whereby a discrepancy exists between an individual's perceived social requirements and the extent to which these needs are satisfied through meaningful social interactions
After controlling for comorbid psychiatric symptoms, the experience of loneliness was characterised by: positively valanced ratings of angry and sad faces; difficulties in the identification of, and blunted ratings of emotional intensity and valance of happy faces. The outcomes present psychosocial implications for individuals experiencing loneliness.
Whilst up-to 80% of the general population may experience transient bouts of loneliness, between 15–30% experience this feeling at a chronic level with negative consequences for physical and psychological wellbeing. Indeed, the experience of loneliness has been related to a range of psychiatric symptoms including those pertaining to stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, and suicidal ideation. Similarly, socioemotional deficits are evidenced in lonely individuals in relation to the processing of social information, a crucial skill for successfully maintaining and developing social and interpersonal relationships.
Several studies have directly examined the perception of emotional faces in the context of loneliness. In a sample of students, found loneliness to be associated with an attenuated ability to identify the emotions of target persons whilst observing a series of still images and video clips.
