Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study examined the influence of cultural background on university students' experience of loneliness. The total of 966 students, 484 from Canada and 482 from the Czech Republic participated in the study. They answered a 30 item yes/no questionnaire composed of five subscales, namely: Emotional distress, Social inadequacy and alienation, Growth and discovery, Interpersonal isolation, and Self-alienation. Results revealed a rather consistent pattern of differences between the two cultures, with Canadian students scoring higher than Czechs on all five subscales. First year students were compared to second to fourth year students. No significant differences were found in either of the countries.
