Slashdot- There remains "little association" between technology use and mental-health problems,
a study of more than 430,000 10 to 15-year-olds suggests. The Oxford
Internet Institute compared TV viewing, social-media and device use with
feelings of depression, suicidal tendencies and behavioral problems. It
found a small drop in association between depression and social-media
use and TV viewing, from 1991 to 2019. There was a small rise in that
between emotional issues and social-media use. "We couldn't tell the
difference between social-media impact and mental health in 2010 and
2019," study co-author Prof Andrew Przybylski. said. "We're not saying
that fewer happy people use more social media. We're saying that the
connection is not getting stronger."
