Abstract
Participants (464) answered a survey examining relationships of attachment to social media behaviors, experiences, and motives for use. Results included associations of anxious attachment with being cyberstalked, and all positive, negative and utilitarian motives for use: and attachment avoidance with being cyberstalked and motives of anonymity and avoiding personal contact.
