Summary.—this study explored the relations between use of the social net- working site Facebook and scores on affinity-seeking, social loneliness, and social avoidance by 313 college students. social loneliness and social avoidance, but not affinity-seeking, were positively and statistically significantly related to time spent using Facebook.
