Tests, after-school activities and problems at home can increase stress for students. But research now suggests that the main reason for the students’ rising anxiety levels is something else.
A psychology professor Jean Twenge said “What a lot of teens told me is that using social media and their phones seems forced. This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to- face interactions.” Last year, in the journal Pediatrics three researchers wrote that too much social media use might contribute to the development of mental health problems in teenagers, such as loneliness, depressive symptoms and anxiety.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. Yet 70 percent of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers, according to a February Pew Research Center report.
Schools are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activity for signs of pain. Some schools have organized some events in which people do not use their electronic devices. Belfast Area High School in Maine had one such event in April. About 20 percent of students and school employees took part, demonstrating the influence that the technology has on their daily life.
Emily Mogavero, a 17-year-old student in New York, said “I definitely feel stressed to keep up my information and stuff. It kind of worries me that I’m on my smart phone so long.” Mogavero said she sometimes puts her phone out of reach or powers it down so she doesn’t hear anything.
Some parents are not letting their children get smart phones until they grow up. A teacher, Erin Schifferli, says her 12-year-old daughter, Aeva, won’t get a phone until she is 16 years old. Deirdre Birmingham of Montclair signed on a campaign called “Wait Until Eighteen” because she didn’t think her video game-loving 10-year-old son was ready for a smart phone.
考试、课后活动和家庭问题都会增加学生的压力。但现在的研究表明,学生焦虑水平上升的主要原因是其他原因。
心理学教授Jean Twenge说:“很多青少年告诉我,使用社交媒体和手机似乎是被迫的。这种手机的使用导致了睡眠不足和面对面的互动。”去年,三名研究人员在《儿科学》杂志上写道,过多地使用社交媒体可能会导致青少年心理健康问题的发展,抑郁症状和焦虑。
研究人员仍然不确定是手机导致学生抑郁还是抑郁导致手机使用。然而,皮尤研究中心2月份的一份报告显示,70%的青少年认为焦虑和抑郁是同龄人的主要问题。
学校开始采取措施来解决这个问题。许多公立学校花钱请外部公司观看学生的社交媒体活动,寻找疼痛迹象。一些学校组织了一些人们不使用电子设备的活动。缅因州贝尔法斯特地区高中在4月份举办了一次这样的活动。大约20%的学生和学校员工参加了活动,展示了这项技术对他们日常生活的影响。
纽约17岁的学生艾米丽·莫加韦罗(Emily Mogavero)说:“我确实感到有压力,要保持我的信息和东西。我在智能手机上呆了这么久,这让我有点担心。”莫加韦罗说,她有时会把手机放在够不着的地方,或者把电源关掉,这样她就什么也听不见了。
有些父母在孩子长大之前不让他们使用智能手机。老师Erin Schifferli说,她12岁的女儿Aeva要到16岁才能拿到电话。蒙特克莱尔的迪尔德丽·伯明翰(Deirdre Birmingham)签署了一项名为“等到18岁”的活动,因为她认为她10岁的儿子还没有准备好用智能手机。
