Gamophobia, Loneliness and Social Adjustment in Stundes

Abstract The present study examined gamophobia, loneliness, and social adjustment among students. Gamophobia, defined as an excessive fear or avoidance of marriage or long-term commitment; loneliness, defined as a subjective feeling of social isolation or lack of meaningful interpersonal relationships; and social adjustment, defined as an individual’s ability to adapt effectively to social environments and interpersonal demands, were treated as the dependent variables of the study. The sample consisted of 120 students, including 60 males and 60 females. Each gender group was further divided into 30 students from rural areas and 30 students from urban areas. A 2 × 2 factorial research design was employed. Gamophobia was assessed using the Gamophobia Scale developed by Doshi and Jogsan, loneliness was measured using the Loneliness Scale developed by Gadara, Vyas, Rathod, Doshi, and Jogsan, and social adjustment was assessed using the Adjustment Scale developed by Bell. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson’s product–moment correlation coefficient. The results revealed a significant main effect of gender on gamophobia and social adjustment. Additionally, significant negative correlations were found among the dependent variables, indicating that higher levels of gamophobia and loneliness were associated with poorer social adjustment among students.
