Up to 75% of college freshmen experience a form of acute loneliness within the first two weeks of college, much of which continues through being an upperclassman. The current generation of undergraduate students grew up with the convenience and ease of access having instantaneous communication largely in part to social networking sites (SNS) and their corresponding smartphone applications (apps). Therefore, it is imperative to study how undergraduate students may utilize SNS apps as conduits of social support and whether or not these mobilized forms of computer-mediated communication (CMC) can help overcome perceived feelings of loneliness. A sample of undergraduate students (N = 324) completed a survey that asked them about their perceived loneliness, affection, social support, CMC competence, and mobile communication competence. A stepwise multiple regression model was analyzed, and results showed that affection received explained 34% of the adjusted variance and affection given explained an additional 1% of the adjusted variance of loneliness. CMC competence was also found to mediate the relationship between mobile communication competence and loneliness. Implications and future directions for research are discussed at the end.
