The sample consisted of 278 students from four different grade levels of different departments at Ege University. Turkish version of University of California Loneliness Scale (UCLA-R, Demir, 1989), The Empathic Tendency Scale (ETS, Dökmen, 1988), and Turkish form of Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS, Eker & Arkar, 1995) were used for data collection. For the purpose of investigating the role of empathic tendency and perceived social support in predicting loneliness levels of college students, a stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted. ETS scores and MSPSS scores appeared as significant predictors for the UCLA-R scores for college students Published by Elsevier Ltd. Keywords: Loneliness, empathic tendency, perceived social support, college students. 1. Introduction Several definitions of loneliness are presented in the literature. For example, Ponzetti (1990) described loneliness as an interpersonal deficit that exists as a result of fewer satisfying personal relationship than a person desires (p.336). Moreover, Jong-Gierveld (1987) said that loneliness is not only having fewer satisfying relationships but loneliness is absence of opportunity to have new relationship with others on an intimate level (as cited in Demirli, 2007). Nowadays, loneliness is a universal experience. Every person may experience loneliness and it exists within every age group but it is more common among adolescents and young adults (Ponzetti, 1990). It is estimated that 30 % of college students experience loneliness as a problem (McWhirter, 1997). In a study which examines the loneliness among college students in Turkey, it was found that 60.2 % of the Turkish students from universities of Ankara were lonely (Özdemir & Tuncay, 2008). Taking the fact that a great deal of college students face with loneliness into consideration, it worths to be aware of its consequences. It is known that anger, furiousness, violence, aggression and feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, worthlessness and failure emerge as result of loneliness (Demir & Tarhan, 2001). In the related literature, various studies examined loneliness in respect of different variables such * Burcu Pamukçu.

2 906 Burcu Pamukçu and Betül Meydan / Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 5 (2010) as peer and family relations (Çiftçi-Uruk & Demir, 2003; Demir & Tarhan, 2001), psychosocial adjustment (Neto & Barros, 2000), social competence (Munson-Simeo, 2000), empathy (Munson-Simeo, 2000; McWhirter, Besett- Alesch, Horibata, & Gat, 2002), and perceived social support (Kozaklı, 2006; Ng, 2001; Yount, 2000). In the relevant studies, it can be seen that social and relational factors come forward. Two of these relational factors are empathic tendency and perceived social support. Cormier and Nurius (2003) described empathy as the ability to understand people from their frame of reference rather than your own (p. 65). Another definition of empathy is that an individual s tendency to understand the other s point of view and to experience other s internal states as our own (Strayer & Roberts, 1997). In brief, empathy is based on understanding others and this understanding includes the other s thoughts, feelings, desires, beliefs, situation, perspective, or experiences (Hàkansson & Montgomery, 2003). Empathy is a very important variable in predicting the loneliness. For example, Dökmen (2000) said that people who have great level of empathy do not experience interpersonal conflicts and they are loved by others. It can be said that people who do not experience interpersonal conflicts and who loved by others may not suffered from loneliness. In the relevant literature, studies examining the relationship between empathic tendency and loneliness have confounding results. For example, a previous research was indicated that empathy is negatively correlated with loneliness (Davis, 1983; as cited in McWhirter, Besett- Alesch, Horibata, & Gat, 2002). However, some other studies conducted with children and adolescents did not find any significant differences between empathic tendency and loneliness (McWhirter, Besett-Alesch, Horibata, & Gat, 2002; Munson-Simeo, 2000). In Turkey, Duru (2002) investigated the level of empathic tendency among faculty of education students and he concluded that there is no relationship between empathy level and number of friends. Another factor relating loneliness, which is as important as empathic tendency, is perceived social support. Perceived social support is a person s beliefs about being supported by friends, family, and others (Cotterell, 2007). Being a social network has an important effect on the adaptation process and health of the person. (Barrera, Sandler, & Ramsay, 1981; as cited in Çakır & Palabıyıko lu, 1975). When the related literature is reviewed, it is seen that most of the studies showed that perceived social support is negatively correlated with level of loneliness. For example, Kozaklı (2006) found negative correlations among perceived social support (family, friends and others) and loneliness levels of college students. In another study, it is concluded that perceived social support that is provided by friends is the most predictive variable for loneliness in school settings (Cutrona, Peplau, & Russell, 1980; as cited in Çeçen, 2008). Correspondingly, Yount (2000) concluded that the level of perceived social support was negatively correlated with level of loneliness among adolescents. In the lights of the relevant literature, further understanding of the relationship of loneliness with empathic tendency and perceived social support are deemed important. In the review of the recent literature, we did not confront with any research which investigated the role of both empathic tendency and perceived social support in predicting loneliness. Moreover, no research is found about the relationship between empathic tendency and loneliness among college students in Turkey. This research has given a chance to examine the role of empathic tendency and perceived social support in predicting loneliness levels of college students. 2. Method This is a prediction study which aims to identify whether empathic tendency and perceived social support predict loneliness for college students. Loneliness was the criterion variable and empathic tendency and perceived social support were the predictor variables. The details on the method of the study were explained in the following parts Participants The participants were composed of two thousands seventy eight college students who enrolled in various departments and grades at Ege University. Of the sample, 62 % of the participants were female and 38 % of them were male. Age of participants varied between 18 and 27. Of the participants, 77.8 % were from different
3 Burcu Pamukçu and Betül Meydan / Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 5 (2010) departments in Faculty of Education, and 21.3 % were from Faculty of Arts. Sixty four participants were freshman, ninety seven participants were sophomore, fifty nine of them were junior and fifty three participants were seniors Data collection instruments Three self-report instruments: University of California Loneliness Scale (UCLA-R), Empathic Tendency Scale (ETS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were used to collect data. University of California Loneliness Scale. UCLA-R is a scale which was used to assess participant s degree of loneliness. Scores are based on 20 items with a 4-point Likert Scale, ranged from 1 (never) to 4 (always). The total scores range from 20 to 80 and higher scores indicate greater loneliness. Reported Cronbach alpha level of the original version was.94. The original form of UCLA-R developed by Russell, Peplau, and Cutrona (1980) and was adapted to Turkish by (Demir, 1989). Reported alpha for the Turkish version of this scale was.96 and test-retest reliability was.94. Empathic Tendency Scale. ETS, developed by Dökmen (1988) was used to measure the levels of empathic tendency of students. Scores are based on 45 items with a 5-point Likert scale. Responses range from totally agree to totally disagree. Reported test-retest reliability over three weeks was.82, and a split half coefficient was.86. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. MSPSS is a 12-item scale which was developed to measure the level of perceived social support obtained from family, friends, and significant other. Items are rated on 7-point Likert type scale ranging from 1 (totally disagree) to 7 (totally agree). Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived social support. The original scale was developed by Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, and Farley (1988) and was adapted to Turkish by Eker and Arkar (1995). The Cronbach alpha levels of the Turkish version were.85 for family,.88 for friends,.92 for the special person, and.89 for the whole scale. Reported test-retest reliability was.65 and split half coefficient for students was Results Primarily, we investigated the outliers in the sample and normality of the data set. We did not detect any outliers which obscure the data set and because skewness and kurtosis values were in acceptable bounds, normal distribution was assumed in this study. Furthermore, we tested the multi-co linearity of the data set. After we assured that our data met the assumptions of analysis of multiple regressions, we conducted analysis of stepwise multiple regression on the data set The results of the stepwise multiple regression analysis predicting the loneliness level of college students We conducted a stepwise multiple regression analysis to examine whether empathic tendency scores and the perceived social support scores predict loneliness scores among college students. Table 1.1 presents the summary of the stepwise multiple regression analysis predicting the loneliness scores of the sample.

Moreover, it can be concluded that empathic tendency and perceived social support were negatively predicted the loneliness. The first variable entered into the equation was the Empathic Tendency Scale score. The regression equation with the ETS score was significant, R 2 =.58, adjusted R 2 =. 57, F (1, 276) =373.45, p<.001. This variable alone accounted for the 58 % of the variance. The second variable entered in to equation was MSPSS score. The regression equation with the MSPSS score was also significant, R 2 =.61, adjusted R 2 =. 60, F (1, 275) = 20.79, p<.001. This variable alone accounted for an additional 3 % of the total variance. Overall, the results showed that empathic tendency level was a significant and statistically very powerful predictor of the loneliness for college students. Moreover, in this research perceived social support alone was found as another predictor of the loneliness for college students. 4. Conclusion and Discussion The results of the stepwise multiple regression analysis have revealed that empathic tendency, and perceived social support were the significant predictors of the loneliness among college students (see table 1.1 & 1.2). Moreover, empathic tendency, which was alone the powerful predictor of loneliness, explained approximately 58 % of the total variance of loneliness scores (see table 1.1). Also, empathic tendency and perceived social support all together explained approximately 61 % of the total variance of the loneliness scores of the college students (see table 1.1). Majority of the studies which investigated the role of empathic tendency in predicting loneliness of children and adolescents concluded that there was no relationship between empathic tendency and loneliness (Duru, 2002; McWhirter, Besett-Alesch, Horibata, & Gat, 2002; Munson-Simeo, 2000). On the other hand, in parallel with results of our study, Davis (1983; as cited in McWhirter, Besett-Alesch, Horibata, & Gat, 2002) indicated that empathy is negatively correlated with loneliness among college students. According to the characteristics of developmental levels, college students are expected to reflect their empathic tendency to their relations whereas children and adolescents are not expected to do so. In this context, we think that the difference between the samples might affect the results of these studies. According to results of this study, it can be speculated that empathic tendency might be one of the most powerful and major predictor of loneliness among college students regarding the great amount of variance it explained in this study. However, more research is needed to reveal the role of empathic tendency in predicting loneliness among college students. Additionally, when the related literature is reviewed in terms of the role of perceived social support in predicting loneliness, all of the researches (Kozaklı, 2006; Ng, 2001; Yılmaz, Yılmaz, & Karaca, 2008; Yount, 2000) showed that perceived social support is negatively correlated with level of loneliness in parallel with our results. In this context, it has been seen that perceived social support is very critical variable in predicting loneliness not only for other countries but also in Turkey. Consequently, it is seen that predictors of loneliness, either empathic tendency or perceived social support are very fundamental factors for college students. For this reason, we believe that empathic tendency and perceived social support should be developed with some ways to prevent the loneliness among college students. We believe that one of these ways can be training programs. For example, we recommended that some communication and social skills training programs should be planned for college students. Moreover, it is also recommended that orientation programs should be arranged for freshmen. We thought that this orientation program facilitates freshmen s adaptation to university. Besides, peer counseling programs may also be arranged for college students to facilitate to find social support in university. Although this study is one the first studies that examined whether the empathic tendency and perceived social support all together are predicting loneliness of college students in Turkey, it had some limitations in terms of research design. Firstly, data were gathered by self-report scales. Interpretations of the study could be affected by some potential problems like social desirability. Second limitation was the sample. The sample was chosen

For the future studies, various research designs are required in order to obtain detailed information about empathic tendency, and perceived social support, and their effects on loneliness level of college students.
