The Role of Psychological Inflexibility in Adolescents' Loneliness: School Friendship Closeness as a Mediator
Overview
This study examines how psychological inflexibility and school friendship closeness relate to loneliness in Finnish adolescents during the transition to upper secondary education. It reports that higher psychological inflexibility is associated with increased loneliness, particularly among girls whose friendship closeness partially mediates this relationship. The resource targets researchers and clinicians interested in adolescent social development and peer relationships.
