Personality traits can affect humans' mental health. In the present study, we aimed to assess the relation of loneliness to personality traits and also to inequality in socio-economic status in girl students.
In a cross-sectional study, investigated the relations of personality traits to loneliness in girl students in Ilam from 2014 to 2015. A multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select the participants. The NEO-FFI and University of California, and Los Angeles questionnaires were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by IBM SPSS and Distributive Analysis Stata Package (DASP).
Among 400 recruited participants, 149 (37.2%) were categorized as having loneliness. The concentration index (CI) for loneliness was 0.19 (95 % confidence interval CI] 0.07, 0.27), which indicated that loneliness was observed more in persons with high socioeconomic status. The risk of loneliness was 38% lower in persons with higher scores in neuroticism (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.91).
We found that socio-economic inequality was observed in relation to loneliness with girls of higher socioeconomic status reporting more loneliness. Therefore, more attention should be directed by policymakers to determining the main contributors to inequality contributors and loneliness in advantaged societies.
人格特质会影响人类的心理健康。本研究旨在评估孤独感与人格特质的关系，以及女学生社会经济地位不平等与孤独感的关系。
本横断面研究于 2014 年至 2015 年期间调查了伊拉姆女学生的人格特质与孤独感的关系。采用多阶段聚类随机抽样方法选择参与者。使用 NEO-FFI 和加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校问卷进行数据收集。采用 IBM SPSS 和分布式分析 Stata 包（DASP）进行数据分析。
在招募的 400 名参与者中，有 149 名（37.2%）被归类为孤独感患者。孤独感的集中指数（CI）为 0.19（95%置信区间 CI：0.07，0.27），表明高社会经济地位的人更容易出现孤独感。神经质得分较高的人患孤独感的风险降低 38%（调整后的优势比（AOR）=0.62，95%CI：0.48，0.91）。
我们发现，孤独感与社会经济不平等有关，社会经济地位较高的女孩报告的孤独感更多。因此，政策制定者应更加关注确定优势社会中不平等和孤独感的主要因素。
