| Summary: | Objective: To analyze scientific production about the psychometric properties of the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Method: Integrative literature review between 1978 and 2014 in the following databases: LILACS, Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycINFO. Results: Cronbach's alpha ranged from α = 0.71 to α = 0.92 between versions, except for the reduced version ULS-4 ranging from α = 0.31 to α = 0.45. There was a lack of consensus among researchers, with some defined the scale as one-dimensional, while others as having two or more factors. There were negative relationship between the UCLA Loneliness Scale and measures of social support, social disposition, self-esteem, life satisfaction, social support, perceived belonging measure, self-concept, self-rated physical attractiveness and happiness and positive relationship with social anxiety, shyness and depression. Conclusion: The scientific evidence supports the psychometricproperties of the UCLA Loneliness Scale, except for the ULS-4. |
