New research finds that being on the Internet is associated with greater well-being. That's especially true if we're thoughtful about when and how we interact online.
New research with a global focus finds Internet use is related to greater well-being and life satisfaction.wisdom
For many fans, however, in-person interactions with fellow fans are not feasible either economically, geographically, or physically. That leaves online interaction, but is spending more time online risking well-being? While the researchers cautioned that the study wasn’t designed to look at whether any aspects of social media use can be harmful, overall, there were more positive effects than negative. Other recent studies have also found that anxiety and depression are not related to time online. A longitudinal study of almost 600 adolescents found that online use, specifically social media use by young people, does not predict greater depression.
Fans can create healthy boundaries to balance their online and offline activities, nurturing both their in-person and virtual connections. If time on Instagram makes you late for work, leaves you falling asleep at your desk, or leads to your partner feeling ignored, that’s a sign that the balance isn’t where it should be.
