The Psychology of Generation Z (Raised by Smartphones)

Описание: What is really happening to Generation Z? In this video we break down the psychology and neuroscience behind Gen Z’s mental health crisis, social media addiction, and identity struggles. From dopamine-driven scrolling and intermittent reward loops to the collapse of authentic identity in the age of influencers, we explore how smartphones and algorithms reshaped the developing brain.

This isn’t about blaming Gen Z for laziness or lack of discipline. It’s about understanding how constant social comparison, digital validation, and the attention economy affect motivation, focus, and emotional wellbeing.
