Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between loneliness (duration) , self-esteem, and performance in academic assistance courses (courses for high risk students). Pearson product-moment correlation coefficie nts were computed for each of the hypotheses. Frequency and intensity of the affects of loneliness correlated inversely with self-esteem. Se lf-esteem did not correlate with achievement (GPA) in courses. The fre quency of the affects of loneliness positively correlated with achieve ment and accounted for approximately 24% of the variance.
