Differential Loneliness Scale.
Information:
The differential loneliness scale is a 20 item questionnaire.
T (True) is given 1 point if it does not have an asterisk next to the item number. F (False) is given 1 point if it does have an asterisk next to the item.
The scale measures loneliness in four types of relationships, romantic/sexual relationships (R/S), friendships (Fr), relationships with family (Fam), and relationships with larger groups (Gr).
