Abstract

This study examines if young adults use technology for altruistic behaviors and its impact on well-being. Among 102 college students, findings show frequent engagement in technology-driven altruism, but no significant effect on subjective well-being. The study highlights technology's role in promoting altruism during a critical developmental period.
