flag A major study finds little link between smartphone use and adult mental health, challenging common concerns.

flag A large-scale study by the University of Oregon and Google Research finds little evidence linking smartphone use to adult mental well-being. flag Using objective data from over 10,000 U.S. adults tracked over four weeks, researchers found weak or negligible connections between screen time, app use, and mood, with demographic factors like age and gender being stronger predictors. flag While brief links were seen between social media use and lower mood in younger adults, these did not persist. flag The study, based on passive tracking rather than self-reports, challenges common assumptions about smartphones harming mental health and provides a public dataset for future research.
