WIRED: The impact of media and technology use on stress (cortisol) and inflammation (interleukin IL-6) in fast paced families

作者:

Highlights:

• Despite being digital natives, technology most affects adolescents' biomarkers of stress.

• Fathers and adolescents experienced rises in their CAR and higher IL-6 due to technology use.

• Bedtime and general use were related to an increase in CAR for adolescents, but a decrease for fathers.

• Technology use did not affect cortisol diurnal rhythm for any family member.

• Technology use also had no effect on mothers' biosocial markers.
