The impact of educational digitalization on life satisfaction: an empirical analysis based on PISA 2022

Educational digitalization has a direct impact on students' life satisfaction, while interest and anxiety play mediating and chain-mediating roles in the effect of educational digitalization on life satisfaction. At the same time, grade level plays a moderating role in the impact of educational digitalization on students' life satisfaction. This study deepens the understanding of the mechanisms by which digitalization promotes student well-being and emphasizes that strategies for digital education should focus on stimulating interest and managing emotions, while implementing differentiated interventions for students of different age groups.
