Too much screen time may worsen kids’ ability to read emotions
Too much face-to-screen time and not enough face-to-face interaction could degrade kids’ ability to read other people’s emotions, a new study suggests.
A team of researchers from UCLA discovered that a group of sixth graders who didn’t use a phone, TV or computer for five days were much better at reading other people’s emotions correctly than a group of sixth graders who spent those five days engrossed with their phones and other electronic devices for their normal amount of time.
