Abstract in brief

  • The study explored how balancing daily solitude and social time affects wellbeing, finding that more alone time can increase loneliness and reduce satisfaction, but when solitude is chosen freely, it can reduce stress and boost feelings of autonomy.
  • On days when people spent more time alone, they generally felt better about their autonomy and experienced less stress, and these positive effects accumulated over time, suggesting some benefits of solitude for overall wellbeing.
  • Overall, the research indicates that solitude has both potential harms and benefits, depending on whether it is voluntary and how it influences different aspects of wellbeing.]
