タイトル：Loneliness among Youth: Reports from Finland

• Loneliness as a psychological and biological phenomenon and experiences of loneliness among university students in Finland (Dr. Nils Sandman)
  

Loneliness is a negative subjective experience where a person feels that they do not have enough social interactions or the social interactions they have are not emotionally satisfying. If loneliness persists for a long time, it is associated with negative consequences for both mental and physical health. In this talk I will give an overview of loneliness as a psychological and biological phenomenon and discuss recent trends of increased experiences of loneliness among young people in Finland and around the around the world. I will also present preliminary results from a recent survey investigating loneliness, wellbeing and associated factors of students at Finnish universities (N=399) and discuss ideas for future research. Dr. Nils Sandman is a senior researcher at University of Turku, Finland, as well as expert member of psychology at Finnish National Agency for Education, a part of Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture. His research interest includes, wellbeing of young people, sleep research and environmental as well as evolutionary psychology.

• Mental Health Across Borders: Cross-National Insights into Youth Mental Health and Time-Trend of Loneliness (Dr. Yuko Mori)
  

Cross-national research is important for a comprehensive understanding of mental health and we-being on a global scale. Cross-national studies with a sound methodological design can inform evidence-based strategies for promoting and improving the mental well-being of people worldwide. In this talk, I will present recent and ongoing research on child and adolescent mental health across national contexts. First, I will present findings from a large-scale cross-national study involving 21,688 adolescents from 13 Asian and European countries, examining key issues such as bullying, school safety, suicidality, and help-seeking behavior. Second, I will share insights from our previous and planned time trend studies on loneliness among Finnish children, covering data from the past 30 years. Finally, I will present results from a recent systematic review mapping existing cross-national research on loneliness in children and adolescents. Dr. Yuko Mori is a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Turku, Finland. She holds a PhD in Child Psychiatry from the University of Turku and an MSc in Education from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. She specializes in cross-national survey research, with a focus on adolescent mental health.
