Causes of Social Loneliness, The Influence of the Family on the Mental State of Urban and Rural Adolescents

Abstract

In psychology the phenomenon of "loneliness" became the subject of attention of scientists relatively recently. The main psychological approaches to the study of loneliness appeared and formed in the USA: psychodynamic, phenomenological, system-wide, sociological interactive, intimate, cognitive-biheurological, cognitive [2,7]. In domestic psychology the problem of loneliness is much more rarely a separate subject of study. The following studies are interesting: the phenomenon of social loneliness and its socio-psychological features, socio-psychological conditions of overcoming and correcting loneliness of teenagers; factors that cause feeling of loneliness in teenagers; personal qualities of urban and rural teenagers[6,8]. Analyzing scientific literature on psychology, it becomes clear that there is no comprehensive approach to the problem of social loneliness in adolescence. During the analysis of theoretical and applied sources we identified the components of adolescent social loneliness: cognitive, emotional, behavioral.
