Abstract
In classrooms, 69 young adults responded to the Revised UCLA Lonelines s Scale, the Symptom Pattern Scale, and the General Health Rating Inde x, a measure of perceived health status. A statistically significant p ositive correlation of .21 was found between scores for loneliness and ratings for symptom patterns. A statistically inverse correlation of -.35 was found between scores for loneliness and ratings for perceived health status. These findings replicated those found earlier with ado lescents.
