data. The sample of the study was 375 (242 female, 133 male) university
students from different departments of a state university in Turkey. Multiple

regression model containing shyness and gender explained 33% of the total variance

positively predict loneliness, male participants were found to be lonelier than
female participants in the current study. Some implications of the present
