Read our accompanying report:Inclusion: Gaming’s Final Boss PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Center for Scholars & Storytellers (CSS), based in UCLA’sDepartment of Psychology, conducts the annual Teens & Screensstudy, which surveys U.S. adolescents about their media use and perspectives. This report, the fourthin the series, centers teen voices and helps support storytellers who would like to more accuratelyreflect adolescent development and different ages and stages. In August of 2025, we asked 1,500 adolescents (ages 10-24) about their perceptions, opinions, andbeliefs about various types of popular media, including TV shows, movies, video games, and digitalmedia. To allow us to track trends over time, we retained selected questions from prior Teens &Screens surveys. To better unpack an always-evolving adolescent culture and media climate, we alsoadded new questions, asked about new types of digital media, and updated our language as needed.We built in open-ended questions so adolescents had lots of chances to speak in their own words -and we share a selection of their quotes in this report. Responses reflect a sample that closelyreflects the demographics of Gen Z in the US with regards to race, gender, and geographic region.Unless otherwise noted, the descriptive statistics cited in this report were calculated for using the fullsample. Please see the methods section for more information about the sample, procedure, materialsand analysis. We are grateful to the Funders of Adolescent Science Translation (FAST), the Hilton Foundation,Warner Brothers Discovery, Nielsen Foundation, Templeton World Charity Foundation and Roblox fortheir support and belief in the importance of this independent research.
