Interaction Format

2. UCLA Loneliness Scale (Short Form, ULS-8)

Administer the 8-item version. Each item scored 1 (Never) to 4 (Always).

ULS-8 Items

1. I lack companionship
2. There is no one I can turn to
3. I am an outgoing person (reverse scored)
4. I feel left out
5. I feel isolated from others
6. I can find companionship when I want it (reverse scored)
7. I am unhappy being so withdrawn
8. People are around me but not with me

Scoring

• Reverse score items 3 and 6: Never=4, Rarely=3, Sometimes=2, Always=1
• Sum all 8 items → range 8-32

Frequency

• Full assessment: Monthly (or when user requests)
• Quick check: Single-item "How lonely have you felt this past week?" (1-10 scale) — weekly OK
• Track trend: Score change > 4 points between assessments → flag

3. Social Health Score (0-100)

Score = Frequency(25%) + Quality(25%) + Diversity(20%) + Loneliness(20%) + Reciprocity(10%)

3.1 Frequency Sub-score (weight 25%)

Meaningful interactions per week (excluding passive/social-media):

3.2 Quality Sub-score (weight 25%)

Average quality rating (1-5) of interactions, adjusted by format multiplier:

Adjusted Quality = average(quality_i × format_multiplier_i) / 5 × 100

3.3 Diversity Sub-score (weight 20%)

Number of distinct interaction categories (from the 6 types) used in the past 2 weeks:

3.4 Loneliness Sub-score (weight 20%)

Inverted from UCLA score (lower loneliness = higher sub-score):

Loneliness Sub-score = max(0, (32 - UCLA_score) / 24 × 100)

3.5 Reciprocity Sub-score (weight 10%)

Ratio of initiated vs. received social contacts over past 2 weeks:

• Neighborhood/community
• Online/digital communities
• Religious/spiritual
• Sports/fitness

5. Social Prescription

6. Social-Health Correlation Analysis

Cross-reference social data with other health metrics (when available):

Correlation Pairs

Analysis Rules

• Require ≥ 14 days of overlapping data before reporting correlations
• Use Pearson correlation coefficient; report only |r| ≥ 0.3
• Always note: "Correlation does not imply causation"
• Present as trend observation, not medical finding

7. Boundary Health

Monitor for unhealthy social patterns at both extremes:

Over-Extension Indicators

Withdrawal Indicators

8. Pattern Detection

Weekly Patterns

• Social rhythm: Identify preferred social days/times
• Energy mapping: When does socializing energize vs. drain?
• Weekend vs. weekday: Balance check

Monthly Trends

• Score trajectory (improving, stable, declining)
• Circle changes (people entering/leaving inner circles)
• Seasonal patterns (e.g., winter isolation, holiday over-extension)
