It is not news that your teenager may be obsessed with their phone. But a new study tries to understand just how teens and older adolescents in Gen-z are consuming movies and series, and you may be surprised just how many of them say they’re not watching stuff on an actual TV the way people have been doing for decades.
The Center for Scholars & Storytellers at UCLA’s Department of Psychology as part of an annual media survey asked 1,500 kids and young adults between the ages 10-24 their opinions about popular culture and media. Among the questions, researchers asked, how often you watch TV shows and/or movies on YouTube or social media platforms like TikTok, even watching them in clips, rather than watching them on TV, on a streaming platform, or in movie theaters?
About two of every five said they watch stuff on social or online rather than watch in traditional ways.
