@katebevan.com is reliably good on this stuff iirc correctly and may have links to studies that act as counter-Haidt...

*waves* you want to read @peteetchells.bsky.social's brilliant book on this, which is nuanced, evidence-based and thoughtful. And read the various pieces he's written for various publications about this stuff https://www.peteetchells.com/unlocked-book

Oooh, perfect timing of mention. It's a 99p bargain at the moment.

And also look at the work of Andy Przybylski and Amy Orben - also both sensible experts who've done the work, unlike Haidt, Hari etc https://oxford.shorthandstories.com/brain-andy-przybylski-uncovering-the-impact-of-technology-on-mental-health/index.html

Anya Kamenetz has a level-headed book about this I think.

Two resources i have seen that show time alone cannot be the determinant factor content and interaction are key. Here’s the first one
