On the Depression Effect of Poetic Sensibility for the Techno-centered Tendency in the Information Environment

Abstract

We proposed that individuals with poetic sensibility decreased techno-centered tendency and increased quality of life (QOL). We investigated techno-centered levels and QOL in university students studying information sciences using questionnaire surveys and analyzed the results using the covariance structure analysis. The results appeared to verify our hypothesis. Therefore, we conclude that the aforementioned sensibility can be suggested as a precaution for the techno-centered tendency and as a measure to improve QOL.
