More than one-third of teens reported low attentiveness on Instagram

PLAINTIFFS’ CHARACTERIZATION

In 2023… Meta's researchers launched a longitudinal study to follow 4,000 U.S. teenagers over the academic year. The goal of this survey was to measure teens' attentiveness ("Possible unintended, unaware, and/or habitual use") and capability ("Perceived self-efficacy to exert control, if desired"). More than "one-third (37%)" of teens reported low attentiveness on Instagram, while slightly less than "1 in 3 teens (28%) reported experiencing challenges with capability."
