Attachment avoidance has no significant relationship with Facebook attachment and Facebook addiction.
“Attachment avoidance has been reported to have no significant relationship with Facebook attachment (Oldmeadow et al. 2013;Andangsari et al. 2013) and Facebook addiction (Eroglu 2015;Lin 2016).”

Table 2 and §2.3 report no significant difference in avoidant attachment between active and non-active Facebook users (p = .35), and §4 discusses that result. This supports a finding about Facebook use, but the paper does not report a test of the relationship between attachment avoidance and Facebook attachment. The Facebook-addiction clause is attributed to other citations, not this paper. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSuch therapeutic means (e.g., Facebook use) can optimistically lead insecure individuals to the path of secure attachment.
“On one hand, such Btherapeutic means^(e.g., Facebook use) can optimistically lead insecure individuals to the path of secure attachment (Andangsari et al. 2013).”

The Discussion says Facebook could become a “therapeutic means” for people with anxious attachment and might lead them toward secure attachment, but only if future research finds that increased Facebook interactions help offline relationships. The claim broadens this conditional possibility to insecure individuals generally; the same section says Facebook did not significantly affect people with avoidant attachment. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAnxious attachment is positively associated with high nightly time on Facebook, nightly status update, and general activity on Facebook.
“Other studies have reported that anxious attachment is positively associated with high nightly time on Facebook, nightly status update (Longua Peterson et al. 2017), and to general activity on Facebook (Hart et al. 2015;Andangsari et al. 2013).”

Anxiously attached individuals use Facebook intensely as a means to develop and maintain their relationships.
“Thus, they use Facebook intensely (i) as a means to develop and maintain their relationships (Andangsari et al. 2013;Assunção et al. 2017;Estévez et al. 2017;Liu et al. 2013;Longua Peterson et al. 2017;Rao and Madan 2012;Rom and Alfasi 2014;)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
