Abstract
Abstract Based on the content analysis of verbatim reports of loneliness accounts provided by 526 subjects, I developed a three-level model of the experience of loneliness. Ten factors are subsumed under four major elements and are differentiated into 23 components. In addition to demonstrating the complexity of loneliness, the present study also highlights the sources of the subjective experience and the varied accounts reported by so many writers. This model may be useful in designing therapeutic intervention procedures according to individual needs of the lonely and in examining the various conditions that give rise to the different experiences of loneliness that people report.
