From: Lonely but avoidant—the unfortunate juxtaposition of loneliness and self-disgust
Differences between lonely and non-lonely individuals on self-disgust. Differences in self-disgust are significant for both older (t = 2.802, df = 52, p = 0.007; Mage = 68.37, SD = 10.52; 65.9% females) and younger adults (t = 14.83, df = 122 p < 001; Mage = 29.29, SD = 14.11; 76.9% females) using the self-disgust scale (Overton et al. 2008); Following Cacioppo’s approach (Cacioppo et al. 2002) we determined lonely and non-lonely groups using the upper and lower quintiles on the UCLA loneliness scale. Note: part of the data included in this figure, specifically those from the younger adults, have been published elsewhere (Ypsilanti et al. 2019)
