Loneliness

Hello loneliness as a reason for CMC behavior! We’ve missed you over the last week or two! At least identity/true self isn’t as much in the forefront here.

OK! So Morahan-Martin says that there are two alternative hypotheses: 1) loneliness leads to IA and 2) IA leads to loneliness.

How would you study which one of this would be the “correct” hypothesis? Is it possible that there are certain individual characteristics that might make one hypothesis valid for a certain group of people versus others? What might those characteristics be?
