Abstract:
Psychological well-being, reflecting a state of optimal functioning and life satisfaction, is influenced by various internal and external factors. This study investigates the relationship between digital stress and psychological well-being among young adults in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. A purposive sample of 118 participants was employed. Digital stress and psychological well-being were measured using respective scales, and data analysis involved correlation analysis. Results indicate a significant negative correlation between digital stress and psychological well-being (r = -0.287, P < 0.001), suggesting that higher levels of digital stress are associated with lower levels of psychological well-being in this population. These findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive digital literacy programs that equip young adults with strategies to manage digital stress and promote overall mental health.
Keywords: adulthood, digital literacy, digital stress, mental health, well-being
