Passing Notes: Self-Control Affects Loneliness?!

Still feeling lonely? Well, we’re back with a Passing Notes episodes, and this week, we’re unpacking last week’s study on loneliness and self-control. We’re sharing some of our own *sad* experiences with feeling lonely and how it connects to our personal views on self-regulation. This study helped us reflect on a new perspective of self-control—especially when it entails an effect on loneliness and ostracization. How does the idea of “self-control” differ among gender? Among different populations? How can we shift the narrative of self-control expectations in order to consider the lives of commonly ostracized groups and individuals? How can this awareness help us all feel less lonely?! HOW?! This study is called “Low Self-Control: A Hidden Cause of Loneliness?” by Olga Stravrova, Dongning Ren and Tila Pronk.
