Psychologist, Jonathan Haidt @ NYU, has an online annotated bibliography of psychological harms of technology use among youth. Here’s what the research shows: ♥️
For boys, the research points to excessive video game use as a primary source of harm.
For girls (especially pre-teen and teenage girls), the research points to excessive social media use as a primary source of harm. The effects range from self-image issues to self-harm reports. In fact, many teenagers will actually self-diagnose with statements like, “Social media has made me miserable.”
♥️
Anxiety and anxiety-related disorders have gone up by 4x in 18-22-year-olds since 2012, which is when smartphones became widely used for the first time.
