Ybarra Explores How Communion and Agency Impact Loneliness in the Workplace
Research coauthored by Gies College of Business Professor Oscar Ybarra presents evidence that the concept of loneliness may be more complex than previously assumed. Usually looked at solely in terms of dimensions of social interactions (or lack thereof), Ybarra sees loneliness as having more dimensions. Ybarra and his coauthor Todd Chan (Google) describe their findings in "The s(quad) model, a pattern approach for understanding the individual and their social network relations: application to loneliness," which was recently published in Frontiers in Social Psychology. Read more on their findings here.
