242 +1. **General Observations:**
243 + - Study analyzed **67 self-identified incels** and **103 non-incel men**.
244 + - Incels reported **higher loneliness and lower social support** compared to non-incels.

246 +2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
247 + - Incels exhibited **higher levels of depression, anxiety, and self-critical rumination**.
