Fig. 3. Mean scores for seven well-being measures, by sex and frequency of using any social media.

Fig. 3

Each sub-graph presents each of the seven well-being measures, including the Basic Psychological Needs scale (BPN) sub-scales autonomy, relatedness and competence, and the Meaning In Life (MIL) scale’s two sub-scales of presence and search. Satisfaction With Life, the Life Orientation Test, the Gratitude Questionnaire, Subjective Happiness Scale and the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) are also included. The mean of each scale is given for all participants (N= 2991) with 95% confidence intervals, split by male and female, and then for each dichotomous category of use-frequency which is one of ‘more than ten times a day’, ‘between two and ten times a day’ or ‘once or less per day’.
