5 years ago, @niklasjohannes.bsky.social and I summarized the literature on the effects of digital technology use on adolescent well-being as follows.

Do you think the findings still apply?

Ich bin nicht leicht stolz auf Dinge. Aber über diesen Podcast freu ich mich riesig :) Es war großartig, sich mit Andreas zu unterhalten, der alle Buchempfehlungen schon im Voraus gelesen hat. Wir reden über Manipulation, Social Media, Fake News, Filter Bubbles & Co. open.spotify.com/episode/7h7Q...

Nature goes full open review!

I have complicated feelings about how and when this was achieved!

And they should be apparent to you after even a moment’s thought about the subtext here!

Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation?

This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change.

Auch eine meiner Lieblingsfolgen. Wobei, wie viele Lieblingsfolgen darf ich haben, damit ich noch Lieblingsfolge sagen darf? :P

Werd in mir dank deiner Info jetzt sicher nicht anschauen. :P

Another study showing sample sizes in psychology increase over time. Several reasons, but that the increase is stronger in journals with stronger open science policies is interesting. Triangulation with other studies (done in the discussion) suggests better research practices are one cause.

Wow, was für ein Buch.

Fast alles, was wir über Social Media denken, ist falsch.

Echo Kammern, Bubbles, Fake News als Riesenproblem.

Wissenschaftliche Artikel hinter Paywalls und wir haben keinen Zugriff? Ein ziemlicher Skandal, denn schließlich haben wir für diese Forschung ja mit unseren Steuergeldern bezahlt! Bei MAITHINK X decken wir heute auf, wie milliardenschwere Verlage die Wissenschaft im Würgegriff haben! Schaut rein! 🧐
