Technology promises to improve our well-being, yet its insidious effects are sometimes not realized until much later. How can we best prepare for the promises and perils of technological advancements?
As our lives become increasingly intertwined with digital devices, understanding their impact on our psychological health is crucial. Digital technology use has both positive and negative effects on well-being. While moderate use is related to increased well-being, both low and excessive use can lead to decreased well-being. Papers on topics related to technology and well-being are welcome. The following are some examples:
- Balancing screen time, and mental health: Harmful effects of technology on well-being (e.g., ADHD, impaired emotional and social intelligence, technology addiction, social isolation, disrupted sleep, etc.)
- Exploring the impact on relationship: Maintaining a healthy balance between online and offline social interactions; strategies for maintaining well-being; social media and self-esteem, etc.
