Summary/Abstract: The research aimed to determine the predictive power of social resources and social strategies in predicting social loneliness. The sample consisted of adult respondents, a total of 253 (103 males and 150 females) from 18 to 45 years, average age AS = 28.26, SD = 5.61. The instruments used in the research are these: the Social resources scale, Social strategy scale, and Social loneliness scale. The results of descriptive statistics show that the most pronounced social resource is leadership and the most pronounced social strategy is management. Also, the results show that the respondents have below-average social loneliness. The results of the regression analysis show that increased care for others leads to greater social loneliness and low expectations of success lead to pronounced social loneliness.
