    Document: Loneliness at T1 a was assessed using the six-item De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (Cronbach's Alpha=.85) [14] . Respondents are asked to rate items such as 'I often feel deserted' and 'there are enough people I can count on in case of a misfortune' on three-point Likert scales (1 = yes, 2 = more or less, 3 = no). We calculated the total score after recoding the three negative formulated items and lower scores reflect more loneliness. For the present study we dichotomized scores into low (≥ 15) and high loneliness (≤ 14). About 20% of the respondents have scores of 14 or lower (two lowest percentiles).
