Part II: Source Evaluation Article Title: Kids These Days: Are Face-to-Face Social Skills among American Children Declining? Article Author: Douglas B. Downey and Benjamin G. Gibbs Retrieval Information: https://www.gwern.net/docs/psychology/2020-downey.pdf Source’s Publication Date: January 2020 Publishing Information: University of Chicago Press Source Summary: As a consequence of their exposure to technology, many social analysts believe that children's social skills are dwindling. This assertion, however, is difficult to verify empirically since it is difficult to quantify "social skills" with confidence and because a robust test would involve data that is typical of various cohorts throughout the country. There is currently no program that fits these requirements. Teachers' and parents' ratings of children's social skills are compared between the 1998 and 2010 Early Childhood Longitudinal Study cohorts. Children's face-to-face social skills are not rated any worse by teachers or parents of younger generations, regardless of their family characteristics, screen time usage, or other aspects. With regard to cohorts, children who are exposed to a lot of screens have comparable social skills trajectories to those who do not. There is one major exception to this rule: kids who consistently take part in internet gaming and long-range interpersonal communication have less fortunate degrees of interactive abilities.

thinking that innovation progressions are causing a decrease in interactive skills and social interaction abilities in children. Article Title: The Effects of Social Media on Children Article Author: Tobbi Dyer Retrieval Information: https://ojs.library.dal.ca/djim/article/download/7855/7244 Source’s Publication Date: 2018 Publishing Information: Dalhousie journal of interdisciplinary management Source Summary: Children are using the internet at a younger and younger age as social media and cellphones become more commonplace in our everyday lives. Half of Grade 4 children in Canada use portable devices to access the Internet on a daily basis, and almost one-quarter of pupils possess cell phones by the time they reach Grade 11. As a result, youngsters are at greater risk of being victims of cyberbullying and sexting. Some of these dangers stem from a lack of parental monitoring and a lack of knowledge about internet safety. Children may benefit from pleasant interactions and deeper connections from both their everyday social circles and those of like-minded people across a wide range of social networks through social media. It may also promote access to variety, boost inclusion, and lessen social isolation.

Retrieval Information: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article? id=10.1371/journal.pone.0199959 Source’s Publication Date: July 25, 2018 Publishing Information: The PLOS ONE Source Summary: There has been an exponential rise in the amount of time youngsters spend on digital devices, particularly smartphones and tablets. Children's use of digital gadgets, such as smartphones and digital tablets, is on the rise, thanks to these devices' convenience and portability. There has been a tremendous increase in the number of possibilities for children to use mobile devices, as well as an increase in how much time that kids spend utilizing them. Traditional media, such as television and video games, as well as newer forms of media, such as smartphones and digital tablets, are becoming more important in children's life. Even among young children, media gadgets are anticipated to play an increasing part in everyday life. Concerns have been expressed concerning the impact of advanced innovation use on kids' wellbeing as the sum of time they spend on mobile devices grows.

Source’s Publication Date: April 23, 2019 Publishing Information: Society for Research in Child Source Summary: Electronic games are widely used by youngsters, and many of them devote significant amounts of time to them. Scholars, parents, and policymakers have been concerned about the effect of computer games on youngsters' psychological and social advancement since the early 1990s when they first became widely available. Developing social skills is essential for a child's growth and development. A collection of activities commonly known as "social skills" are typically required of youngsters when confronted with various developmental challenges such as establishing friends or joining a group. Key characteristics of a socially competent child include the ability to listen carefully, respond considerately to others, accurately recognize nonverbal behavior and verbal qualities e.g. voice volume, tone of voice, and rate, share and cooperate, appropriate assertiveness, and effectively regulate one's own emotions and behavior.
