Self-Reported digital stress, subjective well-being and the moderating role of age: a cross-sectional study of the general population in Austria

Due to its negative impact on health and subjective well-being (SWB), digital stress is increasingly recognized as a public health concern. While prior research has largely focused on digital stress in specific settings (e.g., the workplace), less is known about its distribution and effects on SWB in the general population, particularly in Austria. This study addresses this research gap while placing an additional emphasis on the moderating role of age.
