The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8) in Turkish undergraduate students. A total of 553 university students from Sakarya University participated in the research. The psychometric properties of the scale were analyzed by means of internal consistency, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and criterion-related validity methods. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in a factor, and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the model fitted well with the original scale. The Turkish version of ULS-8 demonstrated good psychometric properties, with a high level of internal consistency. The Turkish version of the ULS-8 is a brief, reliable, and valid instrument for the assessment of loneliness
