What happens when adults trade maturity for adolescent drama and teens buy into nonreality? This presentation will explore research on youth and adult social drama and its effects on all of us explicitly through our obsession with screens and social media.
Attendees will:
- Understand the constructs that affect our online behavior, such as moral disengagement, desensitization and narcissism.
- Review the positive and negative effects of screen time and
social media.
- Consider ways to get out of our screens and reset our lives.
- Think about what is coming next.
