Responsiveness to self‐report questions about loneliness: a comparison of mainstream and intellectual disability‐specific instruments

Abstract: To enable as many people with ID as possible express their views on loneliness, the ID-specific MWLQ is a much better choice. However, this choice comes at the cost of ready comparison to loneliness data for the general community, which is available for widely used assessments such as the UCLALS.

“…Brief, direct, concrete questions with simple response scales yield higher levels of responsiveness (Emerson et al, 2013;Fujiura, 2012;Stancliffe et al, 2014).
