Social media use may harm teens’ mental health by disrupting positive activities, study says

研讨标明，交际媒体的运用或许会阻碍活跃的活动，然后不利于青少年的心理健康

Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.

交际媒体的运用与抑郁症的患病相关，特别对少女而言。但一项新的研讨标明，问题或许比专家们幻想的还要杂乱。

The research, published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, involved interviews with almost 10,000 children between the ages of 13 and 16 in England.

这项研讨于本周二宣布在《柳叶刀——儿童与青少年健康》杂志上。研讨人员对英国近1万名年龄在13岁至16岁之间的儿童进行了查询。

The researchers found that social media may harm girls’ mental health by increasing their exposure to bullying and reducing their sleep and physical exercise.

研讨人员发现，交际媒体或许会添加女孩受欺压的概率、削减她们的睡觉和体育训练活动的时刻，然后不利于她们的心理健康。

Our results suggest that social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt activities that have a positive impact on mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly the negative experience of cyber-bullying, study co-author Russell Viner of the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health said in a statement.

该研讨的一起作者、伦敦大奥蒙德街儿童健康学院的卢瑟尔·威纳在一份声明中表明，咱们的研讨结果标明，交际媒体自身不会形成损伤，但频频运用或许会打乱正常日子，特别是对心理健康有活跃影响的睡觉和训练，一起也会让未成年人接触到比如网络暴力之类的有害内容。

In other words: Social media itself might not be to blame for the mental health issues; rather, it takes away from the girls’ sleep quality and exercise while exposing users to cyberbullying, and that’s what leads to lower well-being and problems with mental health.

换言之：交际媒体自身或许不是形成心理健康问题的原因；可是，它夺走了女孩的睡觉质量和训练活动，一起让孩子们暴露在网络欺压之下，而这正是导致幸福感下降和心理健康问题的原因。
