Digital screen time has minimal impact on adolescent's mental well being
The much-hyped notion that watching TV or being in front of mobile screens before bedtime impacts the well being has shown little evidence in a recent study published in the journal 'Psychological Science'.
The much-hyped notion that watching TV or being in front of mobile screens before bedtime impacts the well being has shown little evidence in a recent study published in the journal 'Psychological Science'.
"Implementing best practice statistical and methodological techniques we found little evidence for substantial negative associations between digital-screen engagement and adolescent well-being," said Amy Orben, Researcher.
The researchers collected data from more than 17,000 teenagers. It came out that an adolescent's total screen time per day had a minimal impact on their mental well being, both on weekdays and weekends.
Also, the study pointed out that the use of 1 hour, 2 hours or even 30 minutes before bedtime didn't have a clear association with a deteriorating overall well being.
