Here's one more reason to limit the amount of time your child
is spending in front of a screen. Social media could be reprogramming
children's brains and making them hooked on "likes," a new study
out of the University of North Carolina reveals.
Apps such as Instagram or Snapchat could be making teenagers almost
constantly checking their phones to see if they have positive or
negative reactions to their online posts, experts say. The more young
people check social media, the more sensitive they become to "social
feedback" in the form of likes and comments, psychologists said.
Social feedback includes social rewards and punishments such
as thumbs up and down, tagging, reporting content or star ratings.
This increasing anticipation and sensitivity to receiving these kind
of responses makes it hard for adolescents to fight the urge to check
their accounts, according to researchers.
