HOT TOPIC #2:
Watching online videos and media multi-tasking is strongly associated with negative social well-being among 8 - 12 year old girls. Researchers studied how interpersonal media use such as emailing, texting, posting on social media sites as well as non-interpersoanl media use (video watching, music, etc) affected pre-adolescent girls. All types of media use correlated with more negative social well being - though the video watching was strongest. Face-to-face social interaction, however was associated with positive social well-being. Pea, R.
