This review provides an overview of the literature regarding digital technology use and adolescent well-being.Overall, findings imply that the general effects are on the negative end of the spectrum but very small.Effects differ depending on the type of use: whereas procrastination and passive use are related to more negative effects, social and active use are related to more positive effects.Digital technology use has stronger effects on short-term markers of hedonic well-being (eg, negative affect) than long-term measures of eudaimonic well-being (eg, life satisfaction).Although adolescents are more vulnerable, effects are comparable for both adolescents and adults.It appears that both low and excessive use are related to decreased well-being, whereas moderate use is related to increased well-being.The current research still has many limitations: High-quality studies with large-scale samples, objective measures of digital technology use, and experience sampling of well-being are missing.
