Abstract

The digital revolution, which started in the latter quarter of the 19th century, refers to the shift from mechanical and analog electronic technology to digital technologies, which mostly use the internet. In contrast to traditional media, digital technologies include social and interactive media and allow users to consume and actively create content. Young people's lives are increasingly mediated by digital technologies used both at home and at school. The use of digital media by young people may be adaptive, but it may place their adaptation at risk. Whether media use is adaptive or maladaptive depends on a number of factors, including, among others, the developmental stage of the individual, the type of media, the type of use, the extent of use, and the characteristics of the individual using the media. The place of digital media in young people's lives has never been more prominent than during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, their lives were upended, and they turned to digital media for their education, entertainment, information, and social contact. Thus, the study of the effects of the digital revolution on youths' development and education has never been timelier than it is right now. This article introduces the Special Issue on youth in the digital age. It includes six reviews that focus on the affective, cognitive, and social consequences of the digital revolution for young people. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

数字革命与青年

始于19世纪后半叶的数字革命是指从机械和模拟电子技术向数字技术的转变，数字技术主要使用互联网。与传统媒体不同，数字技术包括社交和互动媒体，允许用户消费和积极创建内容。年轻人的生活越来越多地受到家庭和学校使用的数字技术的影响。年轻人使用数字媒体可能是适应性的，但这可能会使他们的适应面临风险。媒体使用是适应性的还是不适应性的取决于许多因素，其中包括个人的发展阶段、媒体类型、使用类型、使用程度以及使用媒体的个人的特征。数字媒体在年轻人生活中的地位从未像新冠肺炎大流行期间那样突出。在此期间，他们的生活被颠覆，他们转向数字媒体进行教育、娱乐、信息和社交。因此，研究数字革命对青年发展和教育的影响从未像现在这样及时。本文介绍《数字时代的青年》特刊。它包括六篇评论，重点关注数字革命对年轻人的情感、认知和社会影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）
