| Abstract: | In our rapidly evolving digital age, understanding what impacts our well-being in the digital realm has become paramount. This research embarked on a journey to unravel the almost unexplored facets of digital well-being, guided by a simple yet profound question: How do our inherent beliefs and digital information skills shape our digital well-being? This study has a two-fold aim. First, it aims to clarify the concept of digital well-being and how growth and fixed mindset influence it. Next, it also wants to explore the concept of digital information skills and its moderating role in the relationship. It thus seeks to unravel the concept of digital well-being and the factors that possibly impact it. To add to the concept of digital well-being and clarify it, a new measurement instrument was developed to evaluate digital well-being and its considered dimensions. These dimensions were determined to be digital risks and safety, digital disconnection, and digital dependence. Via the developed exploratory questionnaire, 403 participants, mainly from Germany and the Netherlands, took part and offered their insights into these topics. |
