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.
