Zusammenfassungen
There are four reforms that are so important, and in which I have such a high degree of confidence, that I’m going to call them foundational. They would provide a foundation for healthier childhood in the digital age. They are:
Von Jonathan Haidt im Buch The Anxious Generation (2024) - No smartphones before high school. Parents should delay children’s entry into round-the-clock internet access by giving only basic phones (phones with limited apps and no internet browser) before ninth grade (roughly age 14).
- No social media before 16.Let kids get through the most vulnerable period of brain development before connecting them to a firehose of social comparison and algorithmically chosen influencers.
- Phone-free schools. In all schools from elementary through high school, students should store their phones, smartwatches, and any other personal devices that can send or receive texts in phone lockers or locked pouches during the school day. That is the only way to free up their attention for each other and for their teachers.
- Far more unsupervised play and childhood independence. That’s the way children naturally develop social skills, overcome anxiety, and become self-governing young adults.
Drei technologische und mediale Megatrends bestimmten die frühen 2010er-Jahre: Smartphones, Social-Media-Plattformen und die Selfie-Kultur. Das Ergebnis: Eine ganze Generation von Kindern und Jugendlichen verwendete mehrere Stunden am Tag darauf, durch die Beiträge von Influencer:innen und mehr oder weniger fremden Nutzer:innen zu scrollen, statt sich mit Menschen in ihrem unmittelbaren Umfeld auseinanderzusetzen, mit ihnen zu spielen, zu sprechen oder auch nur Blickkontakt aufzunehmen. Die Mitglieder der Generation Z, die als Erste ihre Pubertät mit den neuen Medien in der Tasche durchlebten, wurden so zu Testpersonen für das Aufwachsen in einer radikal umgestalteten, zunehmend digitalen Umgebung.
Die Folgen dieses Experiments waren, wie Jonathan Haidt auf Grundlage umfangreichen Datenmaterials zeigt, katastrophal – und sie betreffen auch die heute Heranwachsenden. Die schnellste und allumfassendste Neuverdrahtung menschlicher Beziehungen führte dazu, dass sich die mentale Gesundheit der Kinder und Jugendlichen rapide und dauerhaft verschlechtert hat. Dieser Entwicklung müssen wir jetzt entgegentreten: Haidt erklärt, was Regierungen, Schulen und Eltern tun können, um Kindern ein gesundes Aufwachsen zu ermöglichen.

After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. Why?
In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.
Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.
Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children—and ourselves—from the psychological damage of a phone-based life

Bemerkungen zu diesem Buch
The
plots presented throughout this book will be
useful in teaching my students the fundamentals
of causal inference, and how to avoid making
up stories by simply looking at trend lines.
Von Candice L. Odgers im Text The great rewiring, unplugged (2024) Ich finde es problematisch, wenn der Autor als erstes die Geschichte eines Knaben erzählt, der während der Corona-Pandemie eine Gamekonsole erhält und in der Folge depressiv, lustlos und ärgerlich wird und diese Episode als Beispiel des schlechten Einflusses von Computerspielen genommen wird. Als ob nicht vielleicht eine weltweite Epidemie mit Schulschliessungen, Verlust von realen Begegnungen ausserhalb der Familie, Arbeitslosigkeit etc. ebenfalls eine Rolle spielen könnte beim Verhalten eines Jugendlichen!
Von Beat Döbeli Honegger, erfasst im Biblionetz am 04.04.2024Two things need to be said after reading
The Anxious Generation. First, this
book is going to sell a lot of copies,
because Jonathan Haidt is telling a
scary story about children’s development
that many parents are primed to believe.
Second, the book’s repeated suggestion that
digital technologies are rewiring our children’s
brains and causing an epidemic of mental
illness is not supported by science. Worse, the
bold proposal that social media is to blame
might distract us from effectively responding
to the real causes of the current mental-health
crisis in young people.
Von Candice L. Odgers im Text The great rewiring, unplugged (2024) Two things can be independently true about
social media. First, that there is no evidence
that using these platforms is rewiring
children’s brains or driving an epidemic of
mental illness. Second, that considerable
reforms to these platforms are required,
given how much time young people spend on
them. Many of Haidt’s solutions for parents,
adolescents, educators and big technology
firms are reasonable, including stricter
content-moderation policies and requiring
companies to take user age into account when designing platforms and algorithms. Others,
such as age-based restrictions and bans on
mobile devices, are unlikely to be effective in
practice — or worse, could backfire given what
we know about adolescent behaviour.

Beat und dieses Buch
Beat hat dieses Buch erst in den letzten 6 Monaten in Biblionetz aufgenommen. Beat besitzt kein physisches, aber ein digitales Exemplar. (das er aber aus Urheberrechtsgründen nicht einfach weitergeben darf). Aufgrund der vielen Verknüpfungen im Biblionetz scheint er sich intensiver damit befasst zu haben.
