This paper reports research which is the second in a series designed to examine the relationship of loneliness and communication variables. This study examined the relationships among loneliness, communication anxiety, and communicative competence. The revised PRCA (McCroskey, 1981) and the revised CAS (Duran, 1983) were used as independent variables in a series of multiple regressions. Two dimensions of the CAS (social experience and social confirmation) and one dimension of the PRCA (dyadic apprehension) were found to contribute to loneliness.
