Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the relationship between loneli ness and self-esteem for adolescents (n = 57; age range 16 to 18 years ). As hypothesized, scores on the UCLA Scale for Loneliness correlated negatively with adolescents' scores on Coopersmith's self-esteem meas ure. And, scores on two affective dimensions of loneliness (Isolation and Dejection) correlated negatively with scores on self-esteem.
