Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent research has shown that loneliness, a common problem in adolescence, may have a genetic basis. The evidence, though, was limited mostly to serotonin-related and dopamine-related genes. In the present study, we focused on the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR). METHODS: Associations were examined in a longitudinal study spanning five annual waves (N=307). The relations between OXTR and loneliness...
