Eustress, Distress and Technology Use in Australian Students Aged 15-25
2015
Abstract
Toula's PhD research regarding ways in which Australian students aged 15-25 years use technology and the correlation between their technology use and mental health (particularly eustress and distress). Quantitative research results indicated that further investigation was required. Following extensive qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with year 11 and 12 and young university students, key themes emerged. One of the major themes was that Australian students relate to stories and images (online and offline) as a way of coping with their problems. Following these results, Toula decided to conduct further research to investigate ways of delivering mental health information through stories and images in Young Adult literature.
