ABSTRACT : The present study is an investigation of the relationship of sociometric status, gender and academis achievement to loneliness levels of Turkish Adolescents. Participants were 370 secondary school students (186 girls and 184 boys). Data on loneliness and social dissatisfaction levels of students were collected with Turkish version of SS. R. Asher and V.A. Wheeler (1985) Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction Scale. Sociometric data were gathered by using a rating scale and a positive nomination measure devised by S. R. Asher and K.A. Dodge (1986) in which participants were classified into one of four groups (popular, rejected and controversial). The scores obtained from these measures were trailed by a method similar to that of J.D. Coie, K.A. Dodge, and H. Coppotellis' (1982) standard score approach. Results revealed that sociometric status was significantly related to loneliness and social disssatisfaction as a function of peer relations. Member of the rejected group reported significantly higher levels of loneliness and social dissatisfaction than did members of the controversial, popular and neglectedgroups. The controversial group was also significantly different from the popular group in loneliness level. No significant gender differences were found. results also revealed a significant negative relationship between achievement scores and loneliness, indicating that as the level of loneliness increased, academic achievement decreased. 56
