In this article evidence of validity was analyzed, based on the internal structure and reliability of the scores of the 11 items of the De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in Peruvian adolescents. The study was carried out with a sample of 851 adolescents (M = 15.07 years old, SD. = 1.5) from schools in Metropolitan Lima. Factor analysis showed a two-dimensional oblique structure (social and emotional loneliness) with good indices of goodness of fit (CFI ≥ .90, RMSEA ≤ .08). Reliability was estimated using the omega coefficient (ω = .827), and considered as acceptable (≥ .70). It is concluded that the DJGLS shows adequate psychometric properties and can be considered a brief measure for the study of loneliness in Peruvian adoles-cents. Also, the use of DJGLS with this factorial structure allows a better knowledge of the individual and social factors involved in the development of loneliness.
