While many facets of loneliness have been explored, research examining the efficacy of loneliness interventions has been overlooked among young adults. The study of loneliness among young adults has become increasingly important considering the current state of isolation and stay-at-home orders issued to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Preliminary reports suggest an increase in loneliness as a result of the current health pandemic, especially among young adults, who have reported feeling lonelier than any other age group. Such findings warrant the study of ways to help reduce loneliness among young adults. The current study examined the efficacy of strategies that might be used to help young adults manage feelings of loneliness. Two hundred and seventy-eight young adults completed the study. Participants read one of four messages: mindfulness, social cognitions, coping behaviors, or a control. Participants in the mindfulness condition felt better equipped to manage future instances of loneliness and held better attitudes toward this intervention. The current research helps to advance understanding of effective ways of helping young adults cope with loneliness.

虽然已经探索了孤独的许多方面，但在年轻人中却忽视了对孤独干预效果的研究。考虑到目前的隔离状态和为防止 COVID-19 传播而发布的居家令，对年轻人孤独感的研究变得越来越重要。初步报告表明，当前的健康大流行导致孤独感增加，尤其是在年轻人中，他们报告说他们比任何其他年龄组都感到孤独。这些发现值得研究帮助减少年轻人孤独感的方法。目前的研究检查了可能用于帮助年轻人管理孤独感的策略的有效性。278 名年轻人完成了这项研究。参与者阅读以下四种信息之一：正念、社会认知、应对行为或控制。正念状态的参与者感觉更好地应对未来的孤独感，并对这种干预持更好的态度。目前的研究有助于加深对帮助年轻人应对孤独感的有效方法的理解。
