Update 1: Video Abstract

How can we live a good life both thanks to and despite the constant use of digital ICTs? A theoretical framework, Digital Well-Being Theory, is outlined that focuses on the mechanisms between digital ICT use and well-being by analyzing concomitant harms and benefits associated with individual’s digital behaviors, skills, and dispositions.

The framework will be presented at the #AoIR2020 virtual conference. The extended abstract of this working paper is here.
