This is actually an incredibly poor take. Why do you think self-reported data has no scientific value?
Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds
Hector_McG@programming.dev 10 months agoBoth measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.
In other words, this study has no real scientific value.
But there are many more problems with this “study” than just that.

A lot of studies in this area will suffer from the same issue. You can’t exactly take two groups of toddlers and start mandating they watch 4 hours a day. So you’ll have to depend on self-reports.
I don’t know about other problems with this particular study, but it’s not a surprising result really. Children need interaction with their caregivers to develop.

Lol “I don’t like the results of this study, therefore it has not scientific value because I said so”
