Abstract

This study aims to explore the degree of loneliness of adolescents with LDs, and the possible differences and correlations with the type of LDs, gender, and age. The sample comprised 30 adolescences with LDs, 14 (46.7%) boys and 16 (53.3%) girls, aged 12-15 years (M=13.60, Sd=.770). A self-report questionnaire and the children's loneliness questionnaire (CLQ) were used for data collection. The findings of the study indicated that all adolescents, regardless of the type of LDs, demonstrated moderate to low levels of loneliness. There was no statistically significant difference between students with MGLDs and students with SpLDs relating to feelings of loneliness, although students with MGLDs experienced feelings of loneliness higher compared to students with SLDs. As far as the gender, there was no significant difference between girls and boys; however, the girls scored higher. Finally, there was no correlation with age.
