Aim. The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between loneliness, coping and socio-emotional adjustment among orphans. Method. Data was taken from (n= 80) orphan children. Loneliness Scale (Russell, 1978), Coping Scale (Hamby, Grych & Banyard, 2013) and Socio-Emotional Adjustment Scale (Creswell, 2013) were used as an assessment measure in the present study. Data was collected through purposive sampling technique. Result. Results showed loneliness has significant (p < .05) negative relationship with socio-emotional adjustment, however, coping has significant (p < .05) positive relationship with socio-emotional adjustment. Regression findings showed loneliness and coping were significant predictors of socio-emotional adjustment. Conclusion. Findings concluded that high coping would lead to better socio-emotional adjustment of orphan children.
