Paragraph 5: "Internet use and QoL is argued to be correlated. Uses and gratification theory indicates that individuals use media proactively to meet their psychological and social needs [18], thus spending time on specific media to fulfil their expected gratifications [19]. According to self-determination theory, the satisfaction of individuals’ psychological needs (e.g., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) will positively predict their life satisfaction, happiness, and well-being [20]. Therefore, in terms of internet use, when individuals use the internet for leisure or work, their needs can be satisfied, which will, in turn, generate positive long-term psychological outcomes, such as QoL [21,22]."
