P. Moorer et Tpbm. Suurmeijer, UNIDIMENSIONALITY AND CUMULATIVENESS OF THE LONELINESS SCALE USING MOKKEN-SCALE-ANALYSIS FOR POLYCHOTOMOUS ITEMS, Psychological reports, 73(3), 1993, pp. 1324-1326
The unidimensionality and cumulativeness of the Loneliness Scale of De
Jong-Gierveld was investigated using the Mokken Scale Analysis for po
lychotomous items. 10 of the 11 items of the original Loneliness Scale

efficient H of 0.37 and a reliability coefficient rho of 0.88.
