Literature highlights the impact of loneliness on mental and physical wellbeing. Nonetheless, the link between loneliness and the distinct domains of quality of life has only been slightly explored. Moreover, the relationship between early affiliative memories and current feelings of loneliness still need to be studied. The main goal of this study was to explore how early memories of warmth and safeness and physical, psychological and social quality of life (QoL) are related through the mediating influences of loneliness, by testing a novel model in a community-based sample of 509 adult participants of both sexes. Path analysis results suggested that the lack of early memories of warmth and safeness is associated with higher levels of loneliness, which in turn, is associated with decreased physical, psychological and social quality of life. This model accounted for 22%, 45% and 41% of the variance of physical, psychological and social quality of life, respectively. This study seems to suggest that loneliness is a defensive response that may have its roots in the absence of early emotional experiences of warmth and safeness, which may become a conditioned mental representation of self and others that greatly influences one’s perceptions of one’s physical, psychological and social quality of life. Findings seem to support the relevance of addressing the abilities of warmth, kindness and compassion to overcome loneliness, and subsequently to promote physical, psychological and social well-being.

缺乏对温暖和安全的早期记忆可以解释孤独和生活质量吗?葡萄牙中青年成年人的社区样本研究

文学强调孤独对身心健康的影响。尽管如此,寂寞与生活质量不同领域之间的联系只是被轻微地探讨了。而且,早期从属记忆与当前孤独感之间的关系仍需要研究。这项研究的主要目标是,通过在以社区为基础的509个样本中测试一种新颖的模型,探索通过孤独感的中介影响,温暖,安全与身体,心理和社会生活质量(QoL)的早期记忆之间的关系。男女成年参与者。路径分析结果表明,缺乏对温暖和安全感的早期记忆与较高的孤独感有关,而孤独感又与降低的身体,心理和社会生活质量有关。该模型分别占身体,心理和社会生活质量变化的22%,45%和41%。这项研究似乎表明,孤独是一种防御反应,其根源可能在于缺乏温暖和安全的早期情感经历,而孤独可能是对自己和他人的有条件的心理表征,极大地影响了一个人对自己的身体,心理和心理的看法。社会生活质量。研究结果似乎支持解决温暖,友善和同情心的能力以克服孤独感,进而促进身体,心理和社会福祉的相关性。这项研究似乎表明,孤独是一种防御反应,其根源可能在于缺乏温暖和安全的早期情感经历,而孤独可能是对自己和他人的有条件的心理表征,极大地影响了一个人对自己的身体,心理和心理的看法。社会生活质量。研究结果似乎支持解决温暖,友善和同情心的能力以克服孤独感,进而促进身体,心理和社会福祉的相关性。这项研究似乎表明,孤独是一种防御反应,其根源可能在于缺乏温暖和安全的早期情感经历,而孤独可能是对自己和他人的有条件的心理表征,极大地影响了一个人对自己的身体,心理和心理的看法。社会生活质量。研究结果似乎支持解决温暖,友善和同情心的能力以克服孤独感,进而促进身体,心理和社会福祉的相关性。
