Because loneliness negatively affects older adults' mental and physical health Luo et al., 2012) , the current study examined whether subjective isolation (loneliness) increased under the shelter-in-place orders and, if so, whether this predicted increased depression. One possibility is that social engagement, notably spending less time with their personal social networks during the shelter-in-place orders, would exacerbate the relationship between loneliness and depression among older adults (Hypothesis 2a). To account for potential individual differences in depression, we examined a population of older adults who had completed measures of their personal social networks, mental health, and loneliness 6-9 months prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and again during the pandemic.	./cache/cord-265655-s5c7r6ix.txt	./txt/cord-265655-s5c7r6ix.txt
