Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 11
Abstract
Despite the informational and technological opportunities available in the modern world, the experience and per-ception of loneliness has a significant impact on personal development of young people. Understanding the factors that cause this phenomenon is crucial to creating effective counseling and coaching strategies to help people overcome the problems they face in experiencing loneliness. The aim of the article is to present the results of the study of the relation-ship between the experience of loneliness and personal qualities and life values. Loneliness is a multidimensional phe-nomenon that has both a subjective (experience) and an objective (social situation) aspects, both a negative and a posi-tive potential. The existential approach was used as a basis of the study, according to which loneliness contains special personal resources, and the way it feels depends on the attitude to this experience. The research sample involved 89 respondents - students majoring in humanities and mathematics. Correlation and regression analyses were used to analyze the results of the study, while the Mann-Whitney statistical test and variance analysis helped to determine sig-nificant differences in the results between students of different specialties. The research outcomes have shown that single students tend to be more pessimistic about their future and have more negative expectations than those who do not feel alone. As for egoism, there are no significant differences, and this feature does not affect the experience of loneliness. However, the experience of loneliness is closely related to spirituality, individuality, and independence. According to the results of the study, the positive role of loneliness in the formation of a mature personality is empha-sized, namely, as a resource for personal self-improvement.
