Relationship between emotions about spending time alone, how they spend their time to be alone,and the degree of loneliness and anthrophobic tendencies in university students were investigated. We administered a multiple-scale questionnaire to 347 university student participants. The main results were as follows:(1) A positive correlation was found between emotions about independence/ideals, and "awareness of individuality," an aspect of loneliness; and a weak negative correlation was found between emotions about loneliness/anxiety and "understanding and sympathy between people," also an aspect of loneliness. However, there was no relationship between emotions about fulfillment/satisfaction,and loneliness.(2) A positive correlation was observed between awareness of individuality and how participants spent their time during rest/liberation, and introspection.(3) Anthrophobic tendencies showed a significant positive correlation with loneliness/anxiety,and a significant negative correlation with fulfillment/satisfaction.(4)Anthrophobic tendencies showed a significant positive correlation with rest/liberation. These results suggest that awareness of individuality in loneliness was related to time to be alone, and that anthrophobic tendencies, a personality characteristic, were also related to time to be alone.
