Abstract

One of the main concerns and social issues that has come to light with the advent of the modern age in the human society and has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of social sciences is the concern for the decline of social relations and the disturbing weakening of the social links, as well as the reduction of social solidarity. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of loneliness and its relation to life satisfaction among adult residents of Tehran city. This study utilized a survey method with descriptive-correlational approach and the research population of the study consisted of all mature citizens of Tehran metropolis. 524 of them were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The information gathering tool is the diminished lonely adult-emotional loneliness (SELSA-S) and life satisfaction measurement (SWLS) scales. The results of data analysis showed that 30/6% of residents experienced moderate loneliness and 0/06% suffered from severe loneliness. Also, Tehran residents' satisfaction with their lives was moderate to high. Inferential findings also showed that residents are more satisfied with their lives than ever, their feelings of Loneliness are reduced and vice versa. On the other hand, men and single people experienced more loneliness than women and married people. Other variables such as originality, ethnicity, housing status, socioeconomic status, level of education and age had no significant relationship with loneliness.
