Between self-determination and excessive demands: Opportunities and risks of the permanent use of mobile media for well-being.

Smartphones are demonized in the media, but also by some researchers. It is assumed, for example, that mobile media are mainly responsible for harming our mental health and destroying entire generations. What is the truth behind these pessimistic statements about technology? And what are the positive aspects of smartphone use? How can we cultivate a self-determined approach to smartphones that enables us to get the most out of these electronic devices that are constantly with us, while at the same time limiting their risks?

We would like to point out that this event will not take place on Thursdays as usual, but exceptionally on a Wednesday.

The event is part of the research project »digilog@bw – Digitalization in Dialog« and will be streamed live on Instagram. The upcoming conversation will revolve around the thematic block »Digital media use in the area of tension between self-determination and excessive demands and its consequences for well-being«. We invite you to ask questions in the Instagram chat and join the discussion!

In the discussion series »#meetdigilog«, the experts from »digilog@bw« offer an insight into their digital research topics and scientific projects and answer questions in the livestream.

Exciting articles as well as further experts chats can also be found in the blog on digilog@bw.
