You know, there was a big concern for a while about violence in video games. Generally, the research does not support any long-term links between playing violent video games and violent or aggressive outcomes in the long term.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I do think that there broadly is a very negative narrative when it comes to screen time. And I don't know if that is always warranted based on what we know from the research. What we actually know is that it's more of a mixed bag, right? Like the effects of screen time really depend on what's happening during that screen time. and on who the person is.

You know, people have very different reactions to the same experience on their screens. So there's a lot that goes into it. But when it comes to thinking about the risks of screen time, I would say there's two broad categories of risks.

One is just around the time spent and concerns that that time is getting in the way of other things that are important for our well-being, whether that's spending time in person with friends or family or spending time outside, being physically active. When screen time starts to really get in the way of those things, then I think that that certainly can be a risk.

The other category I would say is around the content we're seeing on our screens. You know, we know that there's a lot happening. For example, when we're scrolling social media, there's a lot we see that maybe is not the best for our well-being, is maybe not making us feel our best. And so I think that's another risk as well.

Exactly. Or maybe you are, but you're not really totally present in whatever that other thing is that you're doing.
