Abstract
Samples of 107 early, 81 middle, and 112 late adolescents responded to the UCLA Loneliness Scale and The Creativity Scale of the Adjective C heck List. Contrary to the hypothesized direction, statistically signi ficant inverse correlations (-.19 to -.33) were found between scores o n measures of loneliness and creativity in all three adolescent sample s. Findings are interpreted within the conceptualizations in which the relationship between loneliness and creativity were proposed.
