Specification curve analysis across three large social datasets, total n=355,358, found a small negative association. The analysis is correlational rather than a causal detox experiment.
The association we find between digital technology use and adolescent well-being is negative but small, explaining at most 0.4% of the variation in well-being.
Abstract
Specification curve analysis across three large social datasets, total n=355,358, found a small negative association. The analysis is correlational rather than a causal detox experiment. Strongly qualifies claims of large, uniform technology effects.
