No.
The study found a correlation between people who regularly consume short-form content and those who scored low on tests measuring impulse control and attention span.
If you have less self control, you’re more likely to consume more short-form video content (duh). But correlation is not causation and the study is not proving that more short term video content is causing less self control. It probably is, but that’s not the finding of the study as the title and some of the quotes imply.
I was on a jury for a civil case, a lawyer sued another lawyer trying to get a finders fee for a case he claimed he referred. The whole time the judge was annoyed they didn’t settle out of court and it was all over in about 2 days.
