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

来自17,000多名青少年的数据显示，屏幕时间与青少年幸福感之间没有关系。

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.

该研究发表于心理科学协会期刊心理科学杂志，对人们普遍接受的观念表示怀疑，即在网上，游戏或看电视等时间，尤其是睡前，可能会损害年轻人的心理健康。 

"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.

“实施最佳实践统计和方法技术，我们发现数字屏幕参与和青少年幸福之间存在显着负面关联的证据很少，”牛津互联网研究所（OII）研究员，牛津大学女王学院大学讲师Amy Orben说。

"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."

“虽然心理科学可以成为理解屏幕使用与青少年福祉之间联系的有力工具，但它仍然经常无法为利益相关者和公众提供高质量，透明和客观的调查，以解决对数字技术日益增长的担忧。” 

"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.

“分析三个不同的数据集，包括改进的屏幕时间测量，我们发现很少有明确的证据表明屏幕时间会降低青少年的健康状况，即使在睡前直接使用数字技术，”Andrew Przybylski教授说。在OII和该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.

研究发现，青少年每天的总屏幕时间对他们的心理健康影响不大，无论是在周末还是在工作日。

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.

它还发现，睡前2小时，1小时或30分钟使用数字屏幕与青少年健康状况下降没有明显关联，尽管这通常被媒体报道和公众辩论视为事实。
