Loneliness and belonging among undergraduate students: A dual continuum approach

Friday September 18, 2026 2:35pm - 3:25pm CDT

Trinity 2 Poster 2

This session explores a paradox of college mental health: students report high levels of isolation despite socially dense campus environments. This presentation applies a dual continuum model to identify four typologies of loneliness and belonging: Fulfilled, Searching, Indifferent, and Distressed groups. Attendees will learn how internal resources, help-seeking stigma, and campus climate distinguish these groups, highlighting that internal distress is not mitigated by social engagement alone.
