Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a new study found that maladaptive daydreaming is associated with social media addiction and compulsive sexual behavior?

Unclear. Several studies associate maladaptive daydreaming with behavioral addiction broadly, and one 2024 survey of 293 medical students found probable MDers reported more problematic social media use and sex/pornography addiction symptoms. No retrieved item is the specific new study the claim names, and the evidence covers only parts of the claim.
