The aim of present research was to investigate the relationship among daydreaming,
loneliness and perceived social support. The current study was conducted on a random
sample of undergraduates taken from University of Sargodha (N = 177). The sample
comprised of boys (n = 74) and girls (n = 103). In order to measure daydreaming,
perceived social support and loneliness, Urdu translated Short Imaginal Processes
Inventory, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List and Urdu translated UCLA Loneliness
scale were used respectively. Linear regression analysis portrayed that loneliness
was a significant and positive predictor of daydreaming while perceived social support
appeared as a non-significant correlate of daydreaming. Data analysis also revealed
that perceived social support is a significantly negative predictor of loneliness. Moreover,
the analysis revealed that girls scored significantly higher on daydreaming while nonsignificant gender differences were found in loneliness and perceived social support.
