Resumo(s)
The topics of mental health/mental well-being and the use of social media and other Internet
platforms are heavily intertwined, with a vast amount of focus in later years by the scientific
community to understand in what ways they impact each other and to what extent.
For this thesis, Well-being is being defined through the concepts of Mental Well-being Strain,
which includes the variables Depression and Imposter Syndrome, and Mental Well-being
Outcomes, which contain the variables Self-esteem, Hope, Socialization, and Mindfulness. We
aim to utilize these established constructs to understand how our overuse and dependence
on technology impact our mental well-being.
Using a sample of 200 individuals, we were able to determine that both technology overload
and technology dependency impact well-being strain, which in turn hurts well-being
outcomes. Thus, we can say that technology and social media use have a detrimental effect
on the user's mental well-being. We addressed issues with our findings in further chapters.
