“The Anxious Generation”: An Overview of Jonathan Haidt's Research
4:30 pm-6 pm
Virtual
Haidt’s book, about how smartphones and social media have transformed childhood and adolescence, is scary but convincing. Its premise states that starting in the early 2010s, there was a “great rewiring” of an entire generation’s social and intellectual development.
What makes The Anxious Generation different from other books on similar topics is Haidt’s deduces that we’re actually facing two distinct crises: digital under-parenting (giving kids unlimited and unsupervised access to devices and social media) and real-world over-parenting (protecting kids from every possible harm in the real world). The result is young people who are suffering from addiction-like behaviors, while struggling to handle challenges and setbacks that are part of everyday life.
Participants need not have read the book to attend.
