Preteens spent five days in a nature camp without access to screens and were compared to controls.
Both groups took pre- and post-tests regarding nonverbal emotional cues.
The experimental group’s recognition of cues improved significantly over the control.
Time away from screen media, with increased social interaction, may improve comprehension of nonverbal emotional cues.
