The authors conducted 2 studies to examine the relationship between loneliness and psychosocial variables among people from Angola and Portugal. In the 1st study, the participants were 129 college students from Angola and 122 from Portugal, and in the 2nd study participants were 105 nuns from Angola and 74 from Portugal. The following instruments were administered to all participants in both studies: the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (D. Russell, L. Peplau, & C. Cutrona, 1980), the Neuroticism Scale (J. Barros, 1999), the Optimism Scale (J. Barros, 1998), and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (E. Diener, R. Emmons, R. Larsen, & S. Griffin, 1985). Ethnic differences were found in loneliness. The Angolan participants recorded higher scores for loneliness than did the Portuguese participants. For both samples the most prominent predictors of loneliness were neuroticism and dissatisfaction with life.
作者开展了两项研究，以考察安哥拉和葡萄牙人群中孤独感与心理社会变量之间的关系。在第一项研究中，参与者为129名来自安哥拉的大学生和122名来自葡萄牙的大学生；在第二项研究中，参与者为105名来自安哥拉的修女和74名来自葡萄牙的修女。在两项研究中，所有参与者均接受了以下测评工具的测试：修订版加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表（D. 拉塞尔、L. 佩普劳和C. 卡特罗纳，1980年）、神经质量表（J. 巴罗斯，1999年）、乐观主义量表（J. 巴罗斯，1998年）以及生活满意度量表（E. 迪纳、R. 埃蒙斯、R. 拉森和S. 格里芬，1985年）。研究发现孤独感存在种族差异。安哥拉参与者的孤独感得分高于葡萄牙参与者。对于两个样本而言，孤独感最显著的预测因素是神经质和对生活的不满。
