Sažetak

In this paper the differences in experiencing loneliness and social support with primary-school children of lower age have been analyzed, depending on the observed characteristics of the child (gender and school achievement), characteristics of the family (family size, number of children, employment of parents) and the environment in which the child lives (rural / urban environment). 164 girls and boys, attending the third and fourth grades of primary school, took part in the research. The results showed that the level of loneliness was significantly higher in the group of children with lower school achievements, whose parents were unemployed and who had more than four brothers and sisters. At the same time, it was established that children with excellent school achievement experience much more social support than the children with good and very good school achievement; there is also significant negative correlation between loneliness and the availability of social support.
