The relation between feelings of loneliness and depression scores as a function of self-efficacy beliefs. Based on hierarchical linear regressions, increased perceived loneliness was associated with elevated depressive symptoms. Plotted separately as a function of low (1 SD below the mean) and high scores (1 SD above the mean) of self-efficacy beliefs, this relationship was more pronounced for those who appraised low self-efficacy, particularly at elevated feelings of loneliness.
