Youth slang usage negatively impacts intergenerational communication and relationships
Is it true that youth slang usage negatively impacts intergenerational communication and relationships?
Yes. Recent empirical studies indicate that the widespread and excessive use of youth slang and digital communication symbols creates significant barriers that negatively impact intergenerational communication and widen generational gaps.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
Papers [1] and [6] directly investigate the impact of youth slang and digital communication symbols on intergenerational communication, providing empirical evidence that these linguistic practices create barriers and deepen generational gaps. The remaining papers cover unrelated topics such as sexual health, mental health, parent-child interaction therapy, and social cohesion. Therefore, the claim is supported by the relevant literature.
