ABSTRACT : The authors investigated the relative contribution of peer relations, family structure, and demographic variables in predicting loneliness in adolescents. Ninth-grade high school students (N=756) from 8 different schools representing various socioeconomic status in Ankara, Turkey, completed the UCLA loneliness Scale (D> Rusell, L.A. Peplau & M. L. Ferguson, 1978), the family structure assessing instrument and a author-constructed questionnaire involving demographic information and variables on peer relations. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that all three sets of variables accounted for 41% of the variance in loneliness scores. Additionally, peer relations contributed 34% of the variance, family structure 14% and demographic variables 3%.Within the limits of the study, peer relations appear to be the best predictors of adolescent loneliness. 56
