We have looked at how young people can use digital technologies in a meaningful and responsible way, without losing sight of their own needs and those of others.

Our research suggests that digital maturity is closely related to young people's personality maturity, but goes beyond what conscientiousness and emotional stability can explain regarding young people's use of digital technologies.
