Resilience and Loneliness: A Correlator Study in Young Adults

This short study aimed at investigating the potential correlation between resilience and loneliness among young adults. A sample of 80 individuals aged between 18-26 years old were recruited using a snowball sampling method, online. Participants completed the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (RULS) to assess their levels of resilience and loneliness, respectively. The analysis was to help cater and contribute to the existing literature on the psychological well-being of young adults by examining the interplay between resilience and loneliness, in the technologically forward yet emotionally stagnated modern world. While the statistical analysis of results indicated non signicance, with a negative correlation (-0.212), there is a trend indicating that as the values of loneliness increase, the values of resilience tend to decrease, and vice versa, leaving room for further elaborate studies. The study's design and results provide a foundation for future research in understanding the layered dynamics of mental health among young adults.
