Feelings of undergraduate students about being alone were clarified by comparing feelings about being alone actively and passively. Undergraduate student participants (N=315) completed a questionnaire consisting of rating scales and free descriptions. The results indicated the following. (1) A Majority of participants indicated that they were "quite often, " "often" or "sometimes, " actively alone. However, most participants also indicated that they were "sometimes," "rarely" or "never" passively alone. (2) Most free descriptions indicated that feelings about being alone passively, were negative, whereas descriptions about being alone actively included a variety of feelings, such as negative feelings, ambivalent feelings, and neutral feelings. (3) Results suggest that feelings about being alone were closely related to instability and difficulties that are peculiar to adolescence.

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.
