Digital wellbeing as a dynamic construct

Source: ResearchGate


This article by Mariek Vanden Abeele develops a theoretical model of digital wellbeing accounting for the dynamic and complex nature of our relationship to mobile connectivity. 

The authors define digital wellbeing as a complex, multidimensional construct that is constantly changing as technology and our relationship to it evolves.

He argues that digital wellbeing cannot be understood as a static state, but rather as a dynamic process that is shaped by a range of individual, social, and technological factors. 

He notes that digital wellbeing is influenced by different aspects of people's lives, such as their physical and mental health, their social and professional relationships, and their personal values and goals.

In summary, the contribution suggests that digital wellbeing should be viewed as an ongoing process of negotiation and adaptation, rather than a fixed state to be achieved.
