I’m sure you actually know a lot about psychology and aren’t an armchair philosopher or anything. Wanna show us some of your papers? It should be easy to get published in a psych journal if it’s just astrology, right?
But I guess this partially shows that at least some psychologists are on top of the problem. Just a few years ago (and I routinely talked to a few child psychologists then) the concensus was explicitly stating that internet / smart device use is not a significant factor.
It’s good that the papers are starting to reflect what most parents of teenagers know already. Perhaps it’s possible to align the actions as well in the near future. Some generations have been and will be lost, unfortunately.
Perhaps it’s more to do with changes to the internet over the past 5 or so years? Such as the pervasive rise of algorithmic feeds designed to drive “engagement”?

So it’s not astrology when you agree with it?
