Utilizing the socio‐environmental perspective, this investigation compared feelings of communication apprehension and perceived loneliness between nursing home and non‐nursing home residents. Results indicate that communication apprehension consistently and significantly predicts perceived loneliness for non‐nursing home residents, but fails to predict perceived loneliness for nursing home residents. Demographic information describing the two groups of subjects is also compared.
