The students who didn't have their phones thought that they were going to feel worse, thought they were going to be bored, they thought it was going to be awkward, waiting around all these other students with no distraction of their phones. But actually in the end, unsurprisingly, they ended up feeling better.

But actually in the end, unsurprisingly, they ended up feeling better.

They ended up reporting better mood at the end of the study because they ended up socializing with the people around them and weren't as distracted by their devices. So I think that what we think is going to feel good is not always the thing that ends up actually making us feel good.

No, yeah. So, they provided some kind of entertainment for those students if they wanted it. You know, I remember this particular detail of this study is that they had a giant Jenga game in the room in case students wanted to play and some other stuff around. But for the most part, they were just waiting with other students.

So, I think it was more about the socializing where they ended up, you know, striking up conversations.

Yeah. You know, one of the things that we know about screen time and phone use is that, you know, as I said before, I think there are ways that it can be done where it can promote our well-being and ways where it can really interfere with our well-being. And part of that I think really comes down to the social aspects.

So if we're using our phones to promote connection, social connection, whether that's we're sending a text to a friend to check in on how they're doing, maybe we're sending someone a message to make plans to meet up, those kinds of things obviously are going to be good, are going to make us feel better.

But if we're using our phones in ways that are interfering with social connection, whether that's, you know, we're sitting on our phones scrolling and looking at how much fun everyone else is having on social media, or we're sitting on our phones when we should be interacting with the people around us, those kinds of activities are going to have a more negative impact.
