    Background:

    • Loneliness is a complex emotional state impacting adolescent well-being.
    • Understanding factors contributing to loneliness in delinquent youth is crucial for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine loneliness in delinquent adolescents.
    • To investigate the relationship between loneliness and offense types, demographics, and interpersonal needs (inclusion, control, affection).

    Main Methods:

    • A sample of 98 adolescents (ages 12-18) from juvenile detention facilities completed the Loneliness Questionnaire and FIRO-B Questionnaire.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in loneliness were found based on individual demographic variables.
    • Adolescents from middle-income families reported higher loneliness than those from upper or lower-income families.
    • Higher needs for control were significantly associated with increased loneliness, while inclusion and affection needs showed no significant association.

    Conclusions:

    • Family income and need for control are significant factors associated with loneliness in delinquent adolescents.
    • Interventions addressing control needs and socioeconomic disparities may help mitigate loneliness in this population.
