But a new study from England argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think. The new research interviewed 10, 000 teenagers, who reported the frequency they used social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent.” But the researchers, for the first time, went a step further to investigate what kind of websites the teenagers frequented. They found that, in both sexes, very frequent visits to social media with negative contents was associated with greater mental depression and anxiety. “Our results suggest social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt(中断)activities that positively influence mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful contents, ” said study co author Russell Viner of the UCL Institute of Child Health, It’s an important discovery. Just last month, research from Canada showed that higher level of social media use was linked with increased mental depression in adolescents. With this study, the problem is put in a better context. It’s not necessarily social media that’s causing these issues. It’s more likely the contents that young people are exposed to and its hindrance(阻碍)of healthy sleep and exercise. Bob Patton, a professor of the University of Surrey, said this means that remedies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. “Finding ways to improve the online contents and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce physical and psychological harms,” said he. “If healthy lifestyles can be kept, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说
