Keyword: Loneliness

Abstract: We examined how positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and emotion regulation relate to loneliness in 94 medical students. PCEs (β = –0.395) and positive regulation (β = –0.263) predicted lower loneliness; negative regulation was non-significant. Results support a mediation model where emotion regulation links early relational warmth to reduced loneliness.
