- dpark 9y agoWhile “correlation is not causation” is a tired refrain, I agree that default skepticism is the generally appropriate response. There are peer reviewed scientific studies showing essentially everything and anything you could want to believe. Relatively few hold up to scrutiny or repeat experiments. There is undoubtedly an opposing study that shows increased screen time correlates to happiness.
