Societal Question 4: Why Do Some People Thrive in Digital Environments While Others Struggle?
This line of research developed in response to a persistent and underexplored question: why do some individuals flourish in cyberspaces while others experience harm, disengagement, or loss of self? The publications begin by mapping the behavioral and psychological landscape of digital life, examining how social media, online identities, problematic internet use, and personality traits shape well-being outcomes, and move progressively toward rigorous empirical investigation. These works build a coherent evidence base for understanding digital flourishing as a psychologically complex, individually variable, and structurally shaped phenomenon.
