Overview

Psychometric analysis reveals a two-dimensional factor structure for the R-RTLS-6, indicating reliability across different subgroups.

Key Points

  • The R-RTLS-6 scale effectively differentiates between emotional and social loneliness, showing distinct factors.
  • Two subscales of emotional and social loneliness both meet the Rasch model criteria, confirming their validity.
  • Analysis involved 287 participants across various demographics, contributing to the scale's reliability.
  • Findings suggest the R-RTLS-6 can reliably assess loneliness in diverse populations, supporting its broad applicability.
