Abstract

A person’s activity in virtual space can have a significant impact on his/her cognitive, emotional, and mental development. Nevertheless, previous research revealed mixed results in studying the relationship between Social Networking Service (SNS) use and well-being. This could be because these studies relied heavily on participants’ self-reported results, rather than examining their actual activities. To avoid the bias of respondents’ subjective evaluation, we use data from the UK Understanding Society Innovation Panel (IP) and link each participant’s survey data with their actual Twitter activities (from June 27, 2017 to June 27, 2018), seeking to investigate the extent to which life satisfaction is associated with actual Twitter activity.
