“…Similarly, education has been reported as a positive correlate of well-being (Yip et al, 2007;Hicks, 2011), as well as a negative correlate (Rao, Tamta, and Kumari, 2014;Lissitsa and Chachashvili-Bolotin, 2016). Thirdly, many studies have linked social capital to a variety of outcomes of measures of well-being.…”

“…The ever-vibrant online society allows more research to explore how the Internet shapes personal and social life in urban China. Consequently, an extensive empirical literature has emerged on the association between Internet adoption and subjective well-being (Caplan, 2002;DiMaggio et al, 2004;Oh, Ozkaya, and LaRose, 2014;Lissitsa and Chachashvili-Bolotin, 2016). Notwithstanding mixed findings, the previous literature has pointed explicitly towards the observation that, in both developed and developing societies, Internet usage may have important social and psychological consequences.…”

“…While a vibrant and globalised market of online shopping and social media has emerged, the growing computing and mobile phone industry has also allowed users easier and more frequent access to various online activities. Researchers have therefore devoted more efforts to exploring the social outcomes prompted by the explosive development of the Internet and ICTs, such as well-being and integration (McKenna and Bargh, 2000;Lissitsa and Chachashvili-Bolotin, 2016). …”

Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, this study examines the socioeconomic characteristics of Internet users, as well as the relationships between the dynamics of different forms of online activities and the subjective well-being of urbanites and rural migrants in urban China. The study finds that online behaviour may clearly reflect differences in individuals' personal traits and socioeconomic positions. Patterns of the association between online activities and subjective well-being tend to differ among rural migrants and urbanites, especially in terms of depression. A difference-in-differences model is employed to estimate the impact of intensified engagement in online activities on depression and life satisfaction from 2010 to 2016. The results show that increased frequency of online entertainment exhibits a comparatively positive effect on depression and life satisfaction. Spending more time on online social networking has a similar impact on rural migrants, but not on urbanites. These findings suggest that the rapid development of urban China's online community has important implications for residents' subjective well-being.

“…For a large part of the activities we do during our free time, such as watching shows or TV series, listening to music, listening to the radio, reading, playing a video game, or just surfing on the Internet, we need access to the Internet. Thus, access and digital literacy must be provided universally and should be incorporated into the agenda of all countries (Lissitsa and Chachashvili-Bolotin, 2016). …”

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to propose a methodological framework that calculates a synthetic indicator of satisfaction of citizens of the nine geographical areas of planning and development of Ecuador (zones). Methodology/Approach:The methodology is based on fuzzy logic and the degree of similarity to ideal solutions. The information is obtained through the application of a structured survey based on the European Social Survey to the Ecuadorian society. The analysis is based on eight different dimensions of satisfaction, namely: (1) Life; (2) Economy; (3) City Government; (4) Transparency; (5) Education; (6) Health System; (7) Roads; and (8) National Government. Findings:The results obtained help different stakeholders to have important insights about how the citizens' quality of life and satisfaction depend to some extent on important public services that form the pillars of the social welfare, education and health system. However, our results also suggest that other areas of Ecuador can also benefit from the improvement of the policies developed by the local governments.Research Limitation/implication: An important research limitation is based on the limited number of segment variables used in the study, the geographical zones. Thus, an important venue for future research can be envisaged including other interesting traits analyzed by other scholars, like access to the internet, the social class or the size of the city. Originality/Value of paper:The analysis of individual satisfaction and citizens' quality of life is paramount by the existing interdependence with social cohesion that exists nowadays in Ecuador.

[19][20][21] Many researchers have studies the pattern of gender differences in the components of life satisfaction and personality traits. However, conflicting results have been obtained in this regard.…”
