Upfront, May 12, 2018, Volume 150, Number 10, pages 6-7 By Joe Bubar The first thing Alfredo Santos does when he wakes up each morning is check his iPhone. The rest of the day, the 16-year-old from New York City can’t seem to put the device down, whether he’s in class, at the dinner table, or lying in bed trying to fall asleep. “If I can feel my phone in my pocket, I just want to take it out and check it,” says Santos, a 10th grader at New York Harbor School. “It’s just tempting.” Santos is far from alone in succumbing to the constant itch to check an Instagram feed, view a friend’s latest Snapchat story, or play another round of Word Cookies. On average, Americans check their phones once every 12 minutes, according to a recent study by the tech company Asurion. Many psychologists, teachers, and parents have long worried that teens are spending too much time on their phones. But now, even some people within the tech industry are saying that their products, which were designed to get you hooked, are too difficult to put down. There are millions of different apps available on Androids and iPhones, and they’re all competing for attention. After all, the more time users spend on an app, the more companies will pay to advertise on them. “The people designing these apps are very sophisticated,” says Adam Alter, a psychology professor at New York University and the author of the book Irresistible. “There’s a lot of them, and they’re doing everything they can to keep us engaged.” Some companies even apply neuroscience to find ways to get users’ attention. At Neurons Inc., a Danish company that Facebook and others have used, researchers measure the electrical activity of people’s brains while they’re on an app to see which features bring them the most joy and keep them most engaged. Efforts like these seem to be working—perhaps too well. According to a 2016 survey by Common Sense Media, half of teens say they feel addicted to their phones. Alfredo Santos is one of them. “If I don’t have my phone, I can’t find anything else to do,” he says. “I don’t feel comfortable with myself. I’m like, ‘What am I going to do now?’” Phone addiction isn’t listed as a recognized disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the standard U.S. reference book for mental health diagnoses. However, research shows that obsessively checking your phone could have negative side effects. The more time teens spend in front of screens, the less happy they are, according to a 2018 study by Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University. In a 2017 study, Twenge also found that young people who use social media daily are 13 percent more likely to report high levels of depressive symptoms than those who don’t use social media daily. And all of this technology is so new that researchers don’t yet know how it might affect the still-developing brains of teens. Says psychologist Edward Spector, “We have an entire generation of guinea pigs in an experiment.”
