The present study aims to explore the relationship between Jung’s extraversion and introversion personality types, loneliness and aloneness during adolescence. A total of 373 adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years (M = 16.57; SD = 1.15) completed the Italian versions of the Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents and the Jung Type Indicator. Analysis shows a positive correlation between extraversion and an aversion to aloneness and between introversion and an affinity for aloneness and peer-related loneliness. Moreover, extraversion and introversion predict the extent of loneliness and aloneness. These preliminary data are discussed in light of the adolescence developmental tasks

Abstract
The present study aims to explore the relationship between Jung’s extraversion and introversion personality types, loneliness and aloneness during adolescence. A total of 373 adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years (M = 16.57; SD = 1.15) completed the Italian versions of the Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents and the Jung Type Indicator. Analysis shows a positive correlation between extraversion and an aversion to aloneness and between introversion and an affinity for aloneness and peer-related loneliness. Moreover, extraversion and introversion predict the extent of loneliness and aloneness.
