          Abstract

          Abstract Power and loneliness are two important research topics in social psychology, yet remaining in separate streams of literature despite the potential relationship. To fill this gap, the present research systematically investigates how, why, and when sense of power affects loneliness. We propose that sense of power decreases loneliness, and that this effect is mediated by perceived social support and moderated by social exclusion. In a set of two studies, the hypotheses received convergent support. Study 1 was a survey study, which showed that sense of power was positively related to perceived social support and negatively correlated with loneliness. Furthermore, Study 2 used an experimental approach to provide causal evidence for the effect of power on loneliness, and to test the moderating role of social exclusion. This research contributes to the psychology literature on power, loneliness, and social exclusion.

          Resumen El poder y la soledad son dos temas importantes de investigación en psicología social y, a pesar de sus posibles conexiones, permanecen en corrientes de literatura separadas. Para llenar este vacío, la presente investigación estudia sistemáticamente cómp, por qué y cuándo el sentido del poder afecta la soledad. Proponemos que el sentido de poder disminuye la soledad, y que este efecto es a tráves del apoyo social percibido y moderado por la exclusión social. En un grupo de dos estudios, las hipótesis recibieron un apoyo convergente. El estudio 1 fue un estudio de encuesta, que mostró que la conciencia de poder estaba positivamente relacionada con el apoyo social percibido y correlacionada negativamente con la soledad. Además, el estudio 2 utilizó un enfoque experimental para proporcionar evidencia causal de influencia del poder en la soledad y para probar el papel moderador de la exclusión social. Esta investigación contribuye a la literatura psicológica sobre el poder, la soledad y la exclusión social.

              UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3): reliability, validity, and factor structure.

              In this article I evaluated the psychometric properties of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3). Using data from prior studies of college students, nurses, teachers, and the elderly, analyses of the reliability, validity, and factor structure of this new version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale were conducted. Results indicated that the measure was highly reliable, both in terms of internal consistency (coefficient alpha ranging from .89 to .94) and test-retest reliability over a 1-year period (r = .73). Convergent validity for the scale was indicated by significant correlations with other measures of loneliness. Construct validity was supported by significant relations with measures of the adequacy of the individual's interpersonal relationships, and by correlations between loneliness and measures of health and well-being. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a model incorporating a global bipolar loneliness factor along with two method factor reflecting direction of item wording provided a very good fit to the data across samples. Implications of these results for future measurement research on loneliness are discussed.
