Interesting perspective from @cjsewall9 on how the (lack) of a well-specified hypotheses can contribute to widely believed misunderstandings of evidence. It's a must-read for anyone caring about the #digitalwellbeing space. #evidencebasedpolicy craigsewall.substack.com/p/haidts-mirage
This is a really thoughtful post, and considers an often-lost voice in this whole debate: teenagers themselves.

This is a really fascinating and thoughtful deep dive into how we might best conceptualise the relationship between SM use and mental health. It's complicated (we all knew this), but Craig really goes into considering *how* it's complicated here. Worth a read.

I believe that @JonHaidt’s central claim that social media (SM) is the primary cause of an international youth mental health crisis, especially among girls, is based on a flawed understanding of the underlying data generating process (DGP). In this thread, I’ll show you how.
When you stoke fears and anxieties, these are the sorts of draconian solutions that people cook up - 12 hour school days starting at 7am will fix absolutely nothing thetimes.co.uk/article/school…
I think one of the problems with the current debate is that it suggests we need reasons and evidence to ban phones in schools when actually we need reasons and evidence to let them in. The burden of proof is all the wrong way round. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/is-there-eno…

One of the things that frustrates me about the current debate around social media/smartphones/mental health is that it's very often framed as "alarmist who wants action NOW" vs "out-of-touch critic who only cares about 'data' & wants to wait for the evidence". This is incorrect.
🎤 Join me at Stanford's Cyber Policy Center on April 30, Noon PT, to discuss the impact of social media on youth mental health and explore insights from "The Anxious Child." You can Attend in person or online via Zoom. 🔗 Details & registration: cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/events/april-3…
Digging into this, it’s clear that suggestions for simplistic smartphone/social media bans for kids just won’t work. We need to improve digital literacy skills and training, and push the industry to socially responsible design: bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

30 years before parents and lawmakers sought to save youth from smartphones via age limits and bans in schools, a similar conversation took place in the late 1980s about a pre-cursor to the cellphone: pagers newsletter.pessimistsarchive.org/p/the-forgotte…
New insightful analysis of CDC data on teen mental health. 📊💔 Bans on tech as a fix ignore the complexities of online safety & literacy. Instead of arbitrary limits, we need evidence-based resources to truly support young people. 🌐🤝 #digitalwellbeing salon.com/2024/04/12/soc…

Our paper examining the prospective effects b/w digital tech use & psychological distress has been accepted at Clinical Psychological Science! Overall, we found little to no evidence that fluctuations in digital tech use impacts psych distress. 🧵 1/x psyarxiv.com/ucsh6/
I’ve now finished this book by @PeteEtchells, and would really recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the latest psychological research into the effects of screens, smartphones and social media
In The Anxious Child, @JonHaidt suggests that: “There was little sign of an impending mental illness crisis among adolescents in the 2000s. Then, quite suddenly, in the early 2010s, things changed.” However, in my view, CDC data tells a different story. 🧵 #MentalHealthcrisis

Interesting piece by @markysellers @thetimes on adolescents, screentime and mental health with latest insights from @ShuhBillSkee @MentalHealthOII @oiioxford @oxsocsci @UniofOxford.
Experts criticise author Jonathan Haidt who claimed smartphones rewire children’s brains thetimes.co.uk/article/0b08d6…
Go @ShuhBillSkee! “I don’t think that we would allow Substack and business professors from the US to tell us how to handle maternal health or diabetes management. I have no idea why we’re letting this happen with adolescent mental health and suicide.” thetimes.co.uk/article/author…
This is a really fascinating and thoughtful deep dive into how we might best conceptualise the relationship between SM use and mental health. It's complicated (we all knew this), but Craig really goes into considering *how* it's complicated here. Worth a read.
I believe that @JonHaidt’s central claim that social media (SM) is the primary cause of an international youth mental health crisis, especially among girls, is based on a flawed understanding of the underlying data generating process (DGP). In this thread, I’ll show you how.
Big thanks to @RealJonBrauer , @dougaparry , and @stephenjwild who provided feedback on an early version of this work!
Obviously, it’s completely possible that I’ve made some error in reasoning or implementation, or both. So I welcome your feedback. You can check out the code I used to generate the simulations and plot here (github.com/cjsewall9/sm-g…). Feel free to experiment with your own…
This finding made me wonder, “How does the bias in the Female*SM→MH interaction effect vary across different parameter specifications?” So I did a multiverse analysis where I fixed the SM→MH and Female*SM→MH effects to zero, the Bad Stuff→MH effect to β = 0.5, and allowed the…
So what happens when you fit this misspecified model to the data? Well, you get a sizable main effect SM→MH of β = 0.25 and a small, though noticeable, interaction effect Female*SM→MH of β = 0.04. My next question was, “what happens when you include Bad Stuff in the model as a…
To start out, I simulated data matching the DGP below (left). The numbers next to the paths are the specified standardized effect sizes. Note that the two focal effects, the main effect of SM Use on MH Problems and the interactive effect of Female*SM on MH Problems, are specified…
Instead of diving into the depths of those murky waters, my goal with this thread is to show how easy it is to obtain significant SM→MH effects (especially among girls) when you fail to properly model the underlying DGP. My proposal for what that DGP looks like is below. It’s…
However, adjusting for gender (and age) still leaves the SM→MH effect prone to residual confounding by what I’m calling “Bad Stuff,” which is a dramatically over-simplified catch-all term for things occurring at the individual (e.g. MH history), family (e.g. abuse/neglect),…
Haidt’s understanding of the DGP appears to be something like this diagram (below). Gender is a common cause of both SM use and MH, so failing to account for it results in biased estimates of the SM→MH effect. Studies indicate that girls report more SM use and MH problems than…

One of the things that frustrates me about the current debate around social media/smartphones/mental health is that it's very often framed as "alarmist who wants action NOW" vs "out-of-touch critic who only cares about 'data' & wants to wait for the evidence". This is incorrect.
🎤 Join me at Stanford's Cyber Policy Center on April 30, Noon PT, to discuss the impact of social media on youth mental health and explore insights from "The Anxious Child." You can Attend in person or online via Zoom. 🔗 Details & registration: cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/events/april-3…
Digging into this, it’s clear that suggestions for simplistic smartphone/social media bans for kids just won’t work. We need to improve digital literacy skills and training, and push the industry to socially responsible design: bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…
@cjsewall9 @MentalHealthOII Well done, Craig! So exciting to see this piece out! Great work
