  • It may state two separate claims as one. 56

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The field lacks an overarching theory that addresses the intersection of development and technology.

    “Although several scholars have developed laudable theories related to youth development in virtual contexts, the field lacks an overarching theory to address the intersection of development and technology.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Developmental and family sciences frequently overlook the technological and virtual contexts in which youth learn, play, and grow.

    “We argue this critique is applicable today, as developmental and family sciences frequently overlook some of the ubiquitous contexts in which youth learn, play, and grow—the technological and virtual ones.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Interactions with technology are complex, bidirectional, and dynamic rather than individual and unidirectional.

    “Further, interactions with technology are no longer individual and unidirectional, but complex, bidirectional, and dynamic.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Virtual interactions and activities occur in bits of data travelling at the speed of light.

    “In our view, virtual interactions and activities are occurring in contexts unforeseen by Bronfenbrenner—in bits of data travelling at the speed of light—and his theory must be fundamentally altered to incorporate modern “…activities, social roles, and interpersonal relations” (Bronfenbrenner et al., 1996, p. 1645).”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    In 2021, about five billion people, roughly three-quarters of the world's population, owned smartphones.

    “The ubiquity of digital technology is a global phenomenon; five billion people, roughly three-quarters of the world’s population, owned smartphones in 2021.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Digital technology is pervasive enough that it influences nearly all phenomena of interest to developmental scholars.

    “In today’s technologized world, there are likely very few phenomena in which digital technology is not an influence in some way.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Virtual microsystems are central contexts in the lives of youth.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
