Abstract in brief

  • The study explored the benefits of solitude across different ages, showing that positive feelings like autonomy and peacefulness tend to increase from adolescence to older adulthood, with adults feeling most peaceful in solitude.
  • Themes related to feeling competent in solitude were frequent but did not directly relate to wellbeing, while qualities like self-connection and independence became more important for wellbeing as people aged.
  • Older adults generally reported experiencing more peace and felt less connected or alienated socially during solitude, suggesting that they view solitude and social interaction as more distinct states compared to younger individuals.]
