LAWRENCE — A new study challenges common assumptions about loneliness in young adulthood, finding that feelings of disconnection can coexist with rich, active social lives.

Hall, professor and chair of the University of Kansas Department of Communication Studies, reveals that ongoing life changes, delayed intimacy and prolonged instability — especially among college-educated women — may contribute to social ambivalence, even though young adults have supportive friendships and strong social networks.
