Summary
The psychometric properties of the 24-item LQ were examined and support was found for retaining the 9 non-reverse-worded LQ items to make up a shortened measure of loneliness in youth and a 3-point Likert-type scale was found to be more suitable for measuring loneliness across both children and adolescents.
