Family psychological experiment

I understand if you have a "toy", and you use it. 

Currently, Lithuania is one of the fiber-optic Internet leaders in the world, At the conference in Lisbon on the fiber-optic Internet announced that Lithuania by fiber-optic development of the Internet is the first place in Europe. Around the world, our country ranks high 5th place.

I understand that already, and we, middle-aged people are very accustomed to the social life of the network, used for all innovations in the virtual world, even in the shop, using innovative virtual currency Bitcoin debit card from Xapo or other similar. So not only communicate, but also makes the purchases not leaving the house.

But have we are so much addicted to the Internet? It seems not, you can own garden and nice to spend the whole day taking care of your plants, apple, plum and cherry trees, it's true. And what can not be said about our children, adolescents. It seems we have a problem around the world, we have moved away from nature, moved away from the essence of self.

This shows one of the social experiment.

By the way, the experiment, I found to have engaged in the Russian enlightened, I think we could find a similar experiment more, but I just dwell on it.

Family psychological experiment.

12-18 years children were offered voluntarily spend 8 hours in solitude, without the use of means of communication - telephone and internet access. They were forbidden to turn on the computer, radio and TV. Instead, let the classic activities: writing, reading, playing musical instruments, painting, crafts, singing, walks, and the like.

The study authors tried to prove his working hypothesis that the modern children too much have fun, surf the web, failing to take themselves and completely do not know their own inner world.

Under the experimental rules, children had to come the next day and tell you how to test succeeded loneliness. They were allowed to describe their state during the experiment, recording their actions and thoughts. If they start too much anxiety, discomfort or stress, psychologist recommended to terminate the experiment, recording the time of termination and the reason.

At first glance, the idea seems quite innocent, psychologist also mistakenly believed that it will be perfectly safe. These shocking results did not wait for no one. Of the 68 participants in the experiment received only three - one girl and two boys. Three thoughts of suicide. Five experienced powerful panic attacks. 27 cases observed direct vegetative symptoms - nausea, dizziness, flushing, abdominal pain, and the like. Virtually all participants felt the anxiety and fear.

The novelty of the situation, interest and joy, met with myself, disappeared practically all participants after 2-3 hours. And only 10 people have terminated the experiment felt anxiety after 3 or more hours of loneliness.

The heroic girl who survived the experiment to the end, brought the blog, where all 8 hours in detail described in their state.

Psychologists rails hair standing up. And for ethical reasons, it does not disclose the notes.

What were teenagers during the experiment:

Cooking their food and ate; Read or tried to read; Been doing any school work; Looked out the window and wandered around the house; Build a LEGO and puzzles; Painted or attempted to do so; bathed; Went on in rooms or apartments; Played with dogs or cats; And in sports; Trying to write letters on paper; Play guitar, piano, in one case - with a flute; Three wrote poetry or prose; One boy almost five hours traveled by bus through the city; One girl embroidering; One boy went to an amusement park and a three-hour swing carousel so that began to vomit; One guy broke through the city streets on foot 25 kilometers; One girl went to the Political History Museum, another boy - to the zoo; One girl praying.

After stopping the experiment, 14 teenagers immediately got into social networks, 23 to call a friend, parents, 5 out with friends or in the yard. The remaining turns on the television or immersed in computer games. Almost all immediately after the stop that experiment they turn on the music.

All the fear and other symptoms disappeared immediately after the exit from the experiment.

63 teenagers retroactively recognized the experiment useful and interesting.

Analyzing what happened to them during the experiment, 51 people used the phrase "addiction", "it turns out, I can not live without ...", "I need all the time ..." and so on.

All, without exception, spoke about the fact that it was terribly surprised by these thoughts that came into their heads during the experiment, but they failed to carefully examine the deteriorated state.

Upon receipt of these results, the psychologist seriously frightened. Hypotheses hypotheses, but when they behold thus confirmed...

And after all, still need to take the fact that the experiment took part at all in a row, but only those who agreed to be volunteers.
