The relationship between attachment styles and social anxiety: An investigation with Turkish university students
Open accessAbstract
This study was aimed at investigating the relationship between attachment styles and social anxiety. The sample consisted of 600 (300 female, 300 male) university students. Attachment styles and social anxiety levels of university students were measured using the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (Griffin & Bartholomew, 1994), and Social Anxiety Scale (Ozbay & Palanci, 2001), respectively. Multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis were employed to analyze data. Attachment styles were found to be significantly correlated with social anxiety.

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.
