Two dimensions of loneliness have been differentiated, that is, social loneliness (the perceived absence or inadequacy of a broader social network) and emotional loneliness (the perceived absence of a close, intimate relationship or emotional support from a significant person). The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that both dimensions of loneliness are differentially associated with mental health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796025100383_sec2b\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Altogether, 3275 individuals (aged 45.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a015.7\u00a0years, 47.9% men), enrolled from the general population, were assessed at two waves spanning 6 to 7\u00a0months. Social and emotional loneliness were quantified using the 11-item De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale. Social isolation was assessed with the six-item Lubben Social Network Scale, depressive symptoms with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, generalised anxiety with the Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7, social anxiety with the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, and paranoid ideation with the Revised Green et\u00a0al. Paranoid Thoughts Scale. The data were analysed using a cross-lagged panel network model. Covariates included age, gender, education, employment status, place of residence, monthly income, the history of psychiatric treatment and substance use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796025100383_sec3c\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both dimensions of loneliness were bidirectionally associated and were found to have the highest overall weight of outcoming network connections. Emotional loneliness was bidirectionally and positively associated with all measures of mental health. In turn, social loneliness predicted higher levels of social anxiety but was not associated with other mental health outcomes. It was bidirectionally associated with social isolation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796025100383_sec4d\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings imply the relevance of differentiating social and emotional dimensions of loneliness in the assessment of its underlying mechanisms and consequences for mental health.
