Social Isolation: Definition
Lisa is a 23-year-old female who spends most of her time at home watching television. She works from her home as a medical transcriptionist, which requires her to type up dictation from doctors. She orders most of her food and supplies over the Internet, and she has them shipped to her house. She also has no friends, does not participate in any social activities, and has very little contact with other people. The few times that she has attempted to make social connections have not worked very well. For example, her attempt at small talk with her neighbor ended when Lisa made an inappropriate statement about hygiene. The only regular contact she has is a weekly phone call from her mother. Lisa is experiencing social isolation.
Social isolation is defined as having little or no contact with other people. It usually lasts for extended periods of time. Social isolation is different from loneliness, in that loneliness is a state of emotion that is felt by individuals who are not satisfied with their social connections. Therefore, a person who is experiencing social isolation does not always experience loneliness, especially in cases where social isolation is voluntary. In addition, loneliness can also be temporary, whereas social isolation can lasts anywhere from a few weeks to years.
