The study checked whether the participants are heavy social media users or not, but I suspect the interesting thing to check is whether they have a smart phone or tablet.

Even if you don't use InstaTwitterBook, I think the modern habit is to spend your free minutes playing mobile games, reading news and celebrity gossip, watching streaming video, sending texts, checking email, checking funny memes, and so forth.

Even 15 years ago doing that kind of thing on a mobile device was rare and spending hours on it every day was exceptionally rare. So people were more in the habit of in-person interaction or at least telephone conversations.

At least, that's my guess as to the root cause.
