The aim of this study was to examine the mediator role of loneliness in the relationship between peer victimization and depressive symptoms. The participants of the study were 144 adolescents (66 girls, 78 boys) ranging in age from 11 to 15 years. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to test the relations of peer victimization to depressive symptoms through the mediating role of loneliness. The results of the analysis indicated that loneliness fully mediates the relationship between victimization and depressive symptoms. Results are discussed in light of the related literature.

Loneliness and Negative Affective Conditions in Adults: Is There Any Room for Hope in Predicting Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms? Muyan, Mine; Chang, Edward C.; Jilani, Zunaira; Yu, Tina; Lin, Jiachen; Hirsch, Jameson K. (2016-04-02) This study examined the role of hope in understanding the link between loneliness and negative affective conditions (viz., anxiety and depressive symptoms) in a sample of 318 adults. As expected, loneliness was found to be a significant predictor of both anxiety and depressive symptoms. Noteworthy, hope was found to significantly augment the prediction of depressive symptoms, even after accounting for loneliness. Furthermore, we found evidence for a significant Loneliness x Hope interaction effect in predic...
Direct and indirect effects of social support on psychological well-being Gençöz, Tülin (Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd, 2004-01-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of social support on psychological well-being. Social support was evaluated under two different categories which were named as Aid-Related and Appreciation-Related Social Support. The first category was more related to potential for receiving help from others when needed, and being cared for by others, while the latter category was more related to being recognized by others as an efficient source of help and reassurance of worth. Under...
