Topics
Peter: 本期节目讨论了《焦虑的一代》一书，该书认为青少年沉迷手机导致了精神疾病的流行。Peter 认为，虽然社交媒体可能对青少年造成负面影响，但许多证据仅为轶事证据，而且需要考虑社交媒体对某些青少年的积极作用。同时，Peter 指出，父母往往将青少年行为问题归咎于手机，但这并非全部原因，青少年本身也存在自身发展的问题。Peter 还指出，要理性讨论手机对青少年的影响，需要更多证据和专家意见，不能简单地将手机的影响归结为好坏。 Michael: Michael 认为，虽然很难准确评估社交媒体对青少年的影响，但直觉上认为其可能没有好处。Michael 还指出，Haidt 的研究存在缺陷，其论证方法存在问题，仅仅排除其他解释并不足以证明其观点的正确性。Michael 还指出，Haidt 的书中缺乏对社交媒体如何损害青少年的具体证据，其解决方案也存在问题。Michael 认为，应该更关注青少年获得心理健康服务的途径，而不是简单地禁止手机。
