Solitude can be good—If you see it as such: Reappraisal helps lonely people experience solitude more positively
OBJECTIVE: Solitude is a common experience that can elicit both positive (e.g., relaxation) and negative (e.g., loneliness) emotions. But can changing the way we think about solitude improve its emotional effects? In a previous study, our team found that positively reframing solitude buffers against a reduction in positive affect when alone. Yet, it is unknown whether people who are lonely-and thus more likely to experience solitude negatively-be…
From “isolation” to “me-time: Linguistic Shifts Enhance Solitary Experiences
176 U.S undergraduates) then spent 30 min physically alone without in-person or digital interaction.

Further, we explored participants' behaviours a…

We also used network analysis to examine t…
