Never has it been more important to consider the causes and consequences of solitude for our well-being and mental health. In this session, Professor Coplan explores the concept of solitude from a psychological perspective, with a particular focus on the ongoing debate of the costs and benefits of spending time alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Researcher:<\/strong> Robert Coplan is a Professor in the Department of Psychology. His general research interests are in the areas of children\u2019s socio-emotional functioning and developmental psychopathology. He is particularly interested in the development of social withdrawal and social anxiety. His most recent research projects have focused on: (1) the costs and benefits of solitude in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood; (2) the challenges faced by shy and anxious children at school; and (3) the meaning and implications of social withdrawal across different cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This session is part of the Healthy Workplace Mental Health Speaker Series 2020\/2021. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthy-workplace\/mental-health-speaker-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Paradox of Solitude: Exploring the Costs &amp; Benefits of Being Alone with Professor Robert Coplan\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tiKa5Xbu9Ko?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the time of COVID, many have been thrust into experiencing unwanted solitude, or confined to home environments where, for various reasons, it is almost impossible to find a moment alone.
