bsmall2<p>> if ... the null hypothesis were true (i.e., social media does not cause harm to teen mental health), then the published studies would just reflect random noise2 and Type I errors (believing something that is false). In that case, we’d see experimental studies producing a wide range of findings, including many that showed benefits to mental health from using social media (or that showed harm to those who go off of social media for a few weeks). Yet there are hardly any such experimental findings.<br><a href="https://www.afterbabel.com/p/phone-based-childhood-cause-epidemic" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">afterbabel.com/p/phone-based-c</span><span class="invisible">hildhood-cause-epidemic</span></a><br><a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/StatisticsClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StatisticsClass</span></a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/JonathanHaidt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JonathanHaidt</span></a></p>
