数字媒体是在改善还是在损害心理健康，这个问题困扰了研究人员和公众几十年。这项研究源自媒体丰富性理论，提出打电话和发短信可以改善幸福感，而使用社交网站（SNS），即时消息（IM）和在线游戏可能会取代其他社交联系，从而损害幸福感。为了验证这一假设，对124项研究进行了荟萃分析。结果显示，打电话和发短信与幸福感呈正相关，而在线游戏与幸福感呈负相关。此外，数字媒体使用与福祉之间的关系也取决于技术的使用方式。一系列不同类型的SNS使用和幸福的荟萃分析被用来阐明这一点：互动，自我展示，和娱乐的SNS与更好的幸福，而消费SNS的内容与较差的幸福。
The puzzle of whether digital media are improving or harming psychological well-being has been plaguing researchers and the public for decades. Derived from media richness theory, this study proposed that phone calls and texting improve well-being, while use of social network sites (SNSs), instant messaging (IM), and online gaming may displace other social contacts and, thereby, impair well-being. To test this hypothesis, a meta-analysis of 124 studies was conducted. The results showed that phone calls and texting were positively correlated with well-being, whereas online gaming was negatively associated with well-being. Furthermore, the relationship between digital media use and well-being was also contingent upon the way the technology was used. A series of meta-analyses of different types of SNS use and well-being was used to elucidate this point: interaction, self-presentation, and entertainment on SNSs were associated with better well-being, whereas consuming SNSs' content was associated with poorer well-being.
