The article presents the results of research on an experienced feeling of loneliness by women from different social groups. It was determined that an experienced feeling of loneliness by women was affected directly by the specific group membership. It was revealed as a trend that graver loneliness was observed in the group of women with disabilities, and the easiest one in the group of women at the temporarily occupied territory of Donbass or internally displaced women. The average level observed in the group of religious women from Kyiv. Existence or absence of children at women had no significant effect on women’s feeling of loneliness. The description indicated only that religious women in the penal colony or the disabled (deaf and dumb) women had graver loneliness than women at the temporarily occupied territory of Donbass, IDP or Kyivans. The identified psychological factors that affect loneliness: cheerfulness, personal potential (successful or failed), present or absent motivation for self-realization and an individual position in relation to herself and others: positive-indulgent or aggressive-negative (socially adapted or disadaptive). Women without motivation to achieve success or to personal development, with aggressive behaviour and negative attitude to themselves and others, experiencing conflicts are more socially desadaptive in society and feel lonely than women with good mood, positive attitudes to themselves and others, cheerful, who are motivated for self-realization and success.
Key words: loneliness, social groups, presence or absence of children, psychological factors, level of loneliness.
