Content analysis was done to analyze the open ended questions. Results: The scoring and interpretation was done according to the manual. The results showed that out of 183 college students, 61 (33%) of them were above the threshold of distress. It was further noticed that due to academic pressure, irregular sleep patterns and drug addiction 31.1% of the students had positive scores on the anxiety category. 16.4% showed symptoms of depression as they had relationship problems, experienced some trauma, were away from family and close friend. A 26.2% portrayed social dysfunction due to dysfunctional thinking patterns, family issues, depression and language barrier.

The Relationship

Residential college students (44 men, 51 women) participated in a questionnaire study to clarify the relationship between loneliness, self- or other-focus, and interpersonal needs. Contrary to predictions, loneliness was unrelated to self-focus, other-focus, or the ability to elicit disclosure from others. However, sex differences were found on interpersonal needs. Specifically, loneliness in men was predicted by a lack of expressed inclusion and a desire for control from others, while loneliness in women was predicted by a lack of expressed affection. These findings suggest that lonely men and women may benefit from different intervention strategies. Outcome studies are needed to ensure that such interventions actually reduce loneliness.
