Kids and Phones: Moral Panic or Time to Panic? with Jonathan Haidt

Is Gen Z’s mental health in decline because their “phone-based
childhood” has flooded them with anxiety and ruined their sleep? Or
is there a more complex mix of factors at play? Jonathan Haidt
makes his case for the former explanation in his latest book, The
Anxious Generation. While many people intuitively agree with
his argument that phones and social media are ruining kids, some
researchers are accusing Haidt of coming up with a grand
overarching theory that isn’t supported by the data. Kara brings
the moral psychologist and NYU professor onto the podcast to
discuss his ideas, the criticism he’s gotten, and his proposed
solutions to the problem. Questions? Comments? Email us at
