“Our study of over two million individuals from 160+ countries runs contrary to this idea.”People with access to home internet and/or mobile internet and actively use internet report greater well-being across eight different categories — including life satisfaction and social life, according to a study published Monday in the journal Technology, Mind, and Behavior. Across all those ways of crunching the numbers, about 85% showed that those who have and use the internet report greater well-being that those who do not, according to the research. Other research has shown that the connection between mobile internet use and well-being is complex and varies among individuals, he added. “Our results might then simply indicate that individuals with more money, access to healthcare, etc, report greater well-being,” Vuorre said in an email. The internet is used for a wide variety of things — including online banking, shopping, finding services, reading the news and cyberbullying — and those different uses will have different effects on well-being, Vuorre said.

A new study by the Oxford Internet Institute found little evidence that Internet use harms mental health. The study analyzed whether there's a link between internet adoption and mental well-being. AdvertisementThe idea that using the internet including using social media apps and smartphones can harm mental health has been disputed by a new global study published by the Oxford Internet Institute on Tuesday. Still, they found there was little evidence to show that increased internet usage was associated with negative mental health impacts. Despite these findings, social media firms have come under fire in recent years for contributing to young people's mental health problems.
