Abstract: (26 Views)
Objective: As an integral component of psychological well-being, life satisfaction pertains to an individual's overall assessment of life quality, shaped by various determinants including social networks and social support, among others. Consequently, the current investigation sought to examine the impact of mobile social networks on life satisfaction.
Methods: The research sample comprised 300 students enrolled in state, Payam-e-Nour, and Islamic Azad Universities located in Bandar Abbas. The sampling method employed was stratified, taking into account the gender and academic qualifications of the participants. Data collection was executed through the administration of questionnaires. The statistical analyses required were performed utilizing AMOS and SPSS software.
Results: Structural equation modeling (SEM) initially validated the model's fit. The fit indices were recorded as RMSEA=.66, GFL=.97, AGFI=.93, DF=17, NFI=.95, CFI=.91, X2/df=2.31, and p≤.002. In essence, the interrelated variable model demonstrated an adequate level of fit.
Conclusions: Experts in the field concurred regarding the influence of group affiliation on social support and, by extension, on life satisfaction. Nevertheless, the findings of the present study indicated that while social support has the potential to enhance life satisfaction, membership in social networks did not augment the participants’ perceived support, resulting in a negative correlation with life satisfaction.
