The researchers us

47、ed a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate （调查）the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000. As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many

48、 hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media(媒体) use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV. Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven pe

49、rcent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.

50、 percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.
