Description
Sangha Jeon and Susan Charles link lost face to face variety to loneliness in a 2024 study. During the COVID pandemic, limits on meeting in person cut the range of social acts for many adults. The team asked whether a bigger drop in that range tracked with more loneliness later on.
Data came from a large United States aging study, with 1412 adults aged 50 and up surveyed in 2016 and 2020. Those whose in person range shrank most felt more lonely in 2020, even with early loneliness and health held fixed. Range of online social acts did not soften that link. The findings say screen contact cannot fully stand in for meeting in person.
