We have to be careful about proof of absence and absence of proof here.
- arpinum 5y agoThe Journal title is incredibly misleading here: “ There Is No Evidence That Associations Between Adolescents’ Digital Technology Engagement and Mental Health Problems Have Increased” - this wasn’t a lit review paper or meta analysis. Sad that a top 20 journal would overstate the findings.
- timkam 5y agoI wouldn't be too judgmental here. From the authors' and editors' perspective, the implications are clear because the paper is not marked as a review/survey. Sure, it's not a good choice, but I also think it's unreasonable to expect a title like "this study does not find evidence...".
