ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
This workshop is presented by a coalition of state, provincial and territorial psychological associations, and organized by the Vermont Psychological Association.
This course is designed to deconstruct the psychological science on youths' technology and social media use.  Using theories and methods from developmental cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, this course describes how adolescents' social media use may confer benefits and risks for adolescents' psychological, social, and neural development.  Topics include the role of social media on adolescent body image, how social media impacts sleep and brain development, and what parents can do to help their adolescent navigate social media in more healthy ways.
Learning objectives:
  • Identify psychological, social, and neural changes linked to social media use.
  • Explain the benefits and risks of social media use.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of conclusions derived from psychological research.
  • Apply psychological concepts, theories, and reseach findings on social media use to real-world situations.
