Data from more than 17,000 teenagers show little evidence of a relationship between screen time and well-being in adolescents.

來自17,000多名青少年的數據顯示，屏幕時間與青少年幸福感之間沒有關系。

The study, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, casts doubt on the widely accepted notion that spending time online, gaming, or watching TV, especially before bedtime, can damage young people's mental health.

該研究發表于心理科學協會期刊心理科學雜志，對人們普遍接受的觀念表示懷疑，即在網上，游戲或看電視等時間，尤其是睡前，可能會損害年輕人的心理健康。 

"Implementing best practice statistical and methodological techniques we found little evidence for substantial negative associations between digital-screen engagement and adolescent well-being," said Amy Orben, a Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) and College Lecturer at the Queen's College, University of Oxford.

“實施最佳實踐統計和方法技術，我們發現數字屏幕參與和青少年幸福之間存在顯著負面關聯的證據很少，”牛津互聯網研究所（OII）研究員，牛津大學女王學院大學講師Amy Orben說。

"While psychological science can be a powerful tool for understanding the link between screen use and adolescent well-being, it still routinely fails to supply stakeholders and the public with high-quality, transparent, and objective investigations into growing concerns about digital technologies."

“雖然心理科學可以成為理解屏幕使用與青少年福祉之間聯系的有力工具，但它仍然經常無法為利益相關者和公眾提供高質量，透明和客觀的調查，以解決對數字技術日益增長的擔憂?！?nbsp;

"Analyzing three different datasets, which include improved measurements of screen time, we found little clear-cut evidence that screen time decreases adolescent well-being, even if the use of digital technology occurs directly before bedtime," said Professor Andrew Przybylski, Director of Research at the OII and coauthor on the study.

“分析三個不同的數據集，包括改進的屏幕時間測量，我們發現很少有明確的證據表明屏幕時間會降低青少年的健康狀況，即使在睡前直接使用數字技術，”Andrew Przybylski教授說。在OII和該研究的共同作者的研究。 

The research found that adolescents' total screen time per day had little impact on their mental health, both on weekends and weekdays.

研究發現，青少年每天的總屏幕時間對他們的心理健康影響不大，無論是在周末還是在工作日。

It also found that the use of digital screens 2 hours, 1 hour, or 30 minutes before bedtime didn't have clear associations with decreases in adolescent well-being, even though this is often taken as a fact by media reports and public debates.

它還發現，睡前2小時，1小時或30分鐘使用數字屏幕與青少年健康狀況下降沒有明顯關聯，盡管這通常被媒體報道和公眾辯論視為事實。
