Abstract
Internet as a source of human activity is becoming an increasingly dominant human experience. Young people spend their time online in very different ways, which has consequences for their social and psychological functioning. The subject of analyzes in the article is finding correlations between the forms of using the Internet and satisfaction with life. For this purpose, Diener’s Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS) and the Internet acitities questionnaire were use. The results of the analysis shows that playing games positively correlate with life satisfaction, while social media, communication via messengers, gossip websites and blogs have a negative relationship with life satisfaction.
