Alleviating the Impact of Short Video Exposure on Children:Strategies and Consequences
Children's socialization encompasses acquiring social learning,developing social cognition,and engaging in social interaction during their growth.The pervasive integration of short videos into children's daily lives has weakened their connection with real-world experiences,leading them to increasingly perceive the world through a virtual lens rather than directly interacting with it.The dominance of traffic-driven and algorithm-based recommendations for short video content can harm children's socialization process.Therefore,a comprehensive approach should be adopted to actively harness the positive influence of short videos on children's social development while mitigating or eliminating any adverse impact they may have.
