Summary
The article text discusses a study by Silje Steinsbekk and colleagues on the relationships between social media use, social skills, and offline friendships in adolescents. The research, rooted in neuroscience, challenges the idea that social media use impairs face-to-face interactions and suggests that, except for some socially anxious youth, digital interactions may complement or enhance offline socialization. The study's findings are significant for understanding the impact of digital media on mental health, particularly during adolescence, in the context of anxiety disorders and social skills development.
