Abstract
The present study explored the role of gender role conflict and separation-in-dividuation difficulties as it relates to loneliness in college aged men. The results supported the theorized connection that difficulties associated with successful separation from parents (father and mother) would be related to loneliness. Further, men's gender role conflict scores were also related to increases of lonesomeness. Implications for future research and clinical dynamics from a psychoanalytic perspective are discussed.
