OBJECTIVES
Off-topic verbosity (OTV) refers to prolonged speech that derails from the initial conversational topic by including more loosely associated speech and becoming increasingly more unfocused and distant from the initial topic. Previous research has suggested that, among older adults, loneliness may be associated with greater OTV. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of the relationship between loneliness and OTV among young adults ( = 62) and older adults ( = 80).
METHODS
Participants completed a measure of loneliness and provided speech samples, which were transcribed and rated for OTV.
RESULTS
Results indicated some relationship between loneliness and tangentiality of speech, particularly among older adults.
DISCUSSION
Overall, loneliness may be associated with greater OTV in older adults, which could further explain the connection between increased loneliness and worse health outcomes in older adulthood.
目的
离题赘述（OTV）是指谈话偏离初始主题，包含更多松散相关的内容，并且越来越偏离初始主题。先前的研究表明，在老年人中，孤独感可能与更多的 OTV 相关。本研究的目的是调查孤独感与年轻人（n=62）和老年人（n=80）之间的 OTV 之间关系的性质。
方法
参与者完成了孤独感的测量，并提供了演讲样本，这些样本被转录并对 OTV 进行了评分。
结果
结果表明孤独感与言语的离题之间存在一定的关系，特别是在老年人中。
讨论
总的来说，孤独感可能与老年人的 OTV 增加有关，这可以进一步解释孤独感增加与老年期健康状况恶化之间的联系。
