Post-hoc concurrent validity testing (Pearson correlation coefficient) between composite scores derived from the ISEL and R-UCLA Loneliness scales and relevant NIH Toolbox Social Relationship (SR) scales

	ISEL Social Support Composite Scores			R-UCLA Loneliness Composite Scores
	Appraisal	Tangible	Belonging	Isolation	Relational Connectedness	Collective Connectedness
Emotional Support	.810	.663	.633	−.642	.782	.683
Instrumental Support	.599	.707	.585	−.535	.578	.540
Friendship	.664	.645	.740	−.710	.696	.804
Loneliness	−.665	−.642	−.661	.824	−.683	−.691

Notes: Highlighted cells indicate hypothesized pattern of convergent validity (i.e., higher correlations) with specified components of the ISEL and R-UCLA validation instruments; ISEL=Interpersonal Support Evaluation List; R-UCLA=Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale

All p values < 0.001; N=692
