NEW YORK – There have been increasingly loud public warnings that social media is harming teenagers’ mental health – most recently from the United States surgeon general – adding to many parents’ fears about what all the time spent on phones is doing to their children’s brains.
that social media carried a profound risk of harm, but did not name any apps or websites. His report acknowledged that “there isn’t a single, widely accepted scholarly definition of social media”. Some researchers speculated that YouTube may not have as many detrimental effects because teenagers often consume it passively, like TV, and do not post or comment as often as they do on other apps. Or, researchers said, it may carry the same risks – it offers endless scrolling and algorithmic recommendations, similar to TikTok. There is no clear data either way.
It is also hard to prove that social media causes poor mental health, versus being correlated with it. Most studies measure time spent on social media and mental health symptoms, and many, though not all, have found a correlation. A carefully designed study – Project Awesome, at the University of Amsterdam and Erasmus University, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands – looks at the average effects of social media on 1,000 teenagers it surveys and how they differ by individual, and follows adolescents over time. It has found that time spent on social media is less of a factor than teenagers’ moods while using it.
“There are harmful negative developmental implications to not using social media at all, given this is where the social interaction happens,” said Dr Choukas-Bradley.
