An interesting finding about all this research, a lot of this research is done with my research partner, Zach Rausch. You graph all these studies by both religiosity and by politics.

And when you break it up by those who agreed strongly or weakly versus those who disagreed, you find is that the secular families, the kids, they go up sharply, whereas the religious families, they go up just a little. So they were somewhat protected. And we find the same thing for politics. Seniors in high school, they added the question on politics in the 90s.

So you can see if you say that you're liberal, you go up a lot. But if you say you're conservative, you go up just a little.

And so part of what's happening here is that people that are deeply anchored in a community of adults that is a moral community with an order that is binding, where you have obligations and duties and you have to do these rituals or visit your grandmother, you weren't just washed out to sea. On Instagram, we know that liberal girls use social media the most. They simply spend more hours on it.

As soon as they moved on to Instagram, they're the ones who got much more depressed and anxious, or at least that's where it was concentrated. And so I think it is some of these ideas about victimhood that became so popular on campus in the 2010s that are disempowering.
