Media use, social support, and women’s subjective well-being—Empirical analysis based on CGSS data

In this study, the authors use multiple linear regression to analyze the data of CGSS in 2021 to investigate the relationship between media use, social support, and women's subjective well-being. Their results show that: (1) There is a significant positive correlation between traditional media use and women's subjective well-being. (2) There is a significant positive correlation between informal social support and women's subjective well-being; There is no significant relationship between formal social support and women's subjective well-being. (3) Informal social support plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between traditional media use and women's subjective well-being. (4) Although the use of emerging media cannot directly predict women's subjective well-being, informal social support plays a fully mediating role in the impact of emerging media use on women's subjective well-being.
