Thoreau extols the virtues of individualism an self-sufficiency; however, living according to these virtues does not come without drawbacks.
First, before we can answer this question, we must first be clear what these concepts are.
Individualism means being self-reliant or independent. That means that a person does not look to others for his or her identity. Individualism puts the needs of a single person above society.
Self-sufficiency means that a person can meet his or her own needs. A self-sufficient person might have a garden and would not need to leave home to get food. A self-sufficient person would be capable of fixing things around the house and would not need to hire someone to do these things.
While it is great to be both an individualist and self-sufficient, these qualities can be a problem for the community if taken too far. If everyone is self-sufficient, then there would be no need for a community. If a person can do everything for him or herself, then there would be no need to ask anyone else, there would be no need to even leave your home.
Over time, it would seem that a sense of isolation and loneliness might set in. Imagine a person who puts his needs above those of everyone else. He grows his own food, so never needs to buy from anyone else. He can build and fix his own home, so he never needs to hire or seek help from anyone else. While his self-reliance is great, he is also losing out on social bonds. And, even though he doesn't need help from anyone, it is also likely he is not helping anyone else, either.
And so, while individualism and self-sufficiency are great virtues, they can cause isolation and a lack of community if taken too far.

Answer:
The area in which the author backs up her claim with an evidence was when she included a research study printed in the 'Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.'
Explanation:
'Turning Off, Dining In' is an article which states the importance of dining out with family by keeping all the electronic devices and other distractive materials, and spend that few minutes with family.
In her article, the author asserted that the age-old tradition of family coming together to dine-out and spend that time together has been interrupted by using phones, newspapers, magazines, etc on dining table.
To support her claim, she backed up by citing a research study printed in the 'Journal of Social and Personal Relationships', according to which the quality of having one-on-one conversation is declined due to phone usage. In the fifth paragraph, the author supported her claims by providing evidence of the research study in the printed journal, researchers point of view, and also the viewpoints by research subjects.
