Leisure time internet use and holistic well-being in a sample of young adults in Türkiye: exploring the role of meaning-based coping.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe presence of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being supports individuals' well-being both in the present and in the future. Therefore, identifying the factors regarding these well-beings is of great importance. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating effect of meaning-based coping in the relationship between leisure time internet use and hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, while controlling age, gender, marital status and employment status.
methodThis is a cross-sectional study. This study included 568 participants. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 29 years, with a mean age of 21.17 years (SD = 2.99). Participants responded to demographic questions, the Leisure Internet Usage Scale, the Meaning-centered Coping Scale and the Holistic Well-being Measure. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 27.0. Hayes' PROCESS Macro (Model 4) was used to examine the mediating role of meaning-based coping.
resultsThe findings of this study revealed the positive associations between leisure time internet use for social interaction, shopping, multimedia usage, and information and self-improvement, meaning-based coping, hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. This study also indicated the mediating role of meaning-based coping in the link between leisure time internet use and hedonic and eudaimonic well-being.
conclusionThese results indicate that young adults who use the internet in their leisure time, in the sample studied, tend to report higher levels of meaning-based coping, which is associated with higher hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. These results suggest that meaning-based coping strategies are associated with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being among individuals who engage in enjoyable and self-improving online leisure activities.
