Jonathan Haidt, author of "The Anxious Generation," emphasizes the detrimental effects of smartphones on youth mental health since 2010. He is focused on promoting understanding among individuals and improving social institutions, using his expertise in moral psychology. While discussing his mission at a London meeting, Haidt reflects on the widespread anxiety, depression, and even self-harm among young people, linking these issues to the pervasive influence of digital technology. His work serves as a call to action for society to address these urgent concerns.
"My mission is to use my research in moral psychology and that of others to help people better understand each other, and help important social institutions work well."
"Smartphones, he argues, are largely responsible for a collapse in young people's mental health since 2010, taking in increased anxiety, depression, and even self-harm and suicide."
