Psychologists and social neuroscientists often refer to loneliness as painful isolation. The emphasis on pain is there to make a clear distinction between solitude – the state of being alone – and subjective loneliness, which is the distressing feeling that comes from unmet expectations of the types of interpersonal relationships we wish to have. Researchers use several kinds of data to measure solitude and loneliness. The most common source of data are surveys where people are asked about di...

Humans and rats are, of course, very different, but experts such as Hawkley and Cacioppo argue that these experiments are important because they tell us something meaningful about a shared biological mechanism. In a review of the e...

But do we really know how much it matters relative to other important risk factors? The key point here is that estimates are likely biased to some extent. The findings from longitudinal...
