A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals that some teens are self-regulating their social media and smartphone use amidst growing concerns over potential harm to their mental health."About four in 10 have cut back on their social media use and about a third say that they've cut back on the time that they spend on their smartphone," said Monica Anderson, Pew Research Center director of internet and technology research.Anderson also noted a gender difference in this self-regulation."Girls are more likely than boys to say they spend too much time on either of these technologies, but they're also more likely than boys to say that they've taken steps to cut back on the time that they use on either social media or on their phone," Anderson explained.The survey also shed light on teens' perception of their parents' screen time."We asked teens to assess how often their parent was distracted when they were trying to have a conversation with them. And nearly half of teens said that this happens at least sometimes," Anderson said.Despite teens' self-regulation and their concerns about their parents' screen time, many parents still consider it a priority to monitor their teens' screen time.The survey found that both parents and teens are equally likely to argue about when it's time for teens to put their phones down. This indicates a shared concern about the potential impact of excessive screen time on family interactions and individual well-being.
