ZAMBIANCHI, Manuela. Digital technologies and eudaimonic well-being in the emerging adults. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.147-164.  Epub Feb 15, 2023. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.202301.006.

Referring to the theoretical assumptions of Positive Technology, the study examined attitudes towards ICTs, the use of specific technologies and their relationship with eudaimonic psychological well-being (PWB) in emerging adults. 193 emerging adults (mean age 21.61, SD = 2.99; range 19-30; female 85, male 108; participated in the research. The use of specific information technologies is positively associated with the possession of favorable attitudes to them, and with different components of eudaimonic psychological well-being. The use of emails is positively linked to greater global eudaimonic well-being, a greater sense of personal growth, the presence of numerous life projects and satisfactory social relations. The use of predominantly iconic systems such as Instagram appears instead linked to a lower perceived autonomy.

Keywords : emerging adults; information technologies; eudaimonic well-being; Positive Technology.
