All the participants were given iPhones to use and were asked to report their technology usage, stresses and moods for a week. The information was then utilised to evaluate the emotional responses of teenagers. The findings of the research revealed that teenagers who spent a moderate amount of time online after a stressful experience reported lower peaks in negative feelings, than those who avoided digital technology altogether or spent several hours online. As per researchers, the online environment is beneficial for teenagers in low-income situations as it acts as a tool to obtain knowledge and assistance.
