“…This study revealed that the following six life domains have positive and significant effects on the overall contribution: health, cultural, leisure, trustworthy, safety, and consumer life domains. The first five life domains are significant, indicating stable results that are similar to those for the data on young Japanese users of 2015 [11]. Some changes to more positive significant individual domains occurred between 2005-2006 and 2017.…”

“…Further, the PLS method is well-suited to handle both formative indicators (for individual contributions) and reflective indicators (for overall contribution) in one model [27]. The PLS has been successfully applied to construct a theory of mobile data service contribution to the QoL of young Japanese mobile users [10,11].…”

“…As the phrase "downloading the latest ringtones and logos" in the measurements for leisure, family, and self-life used by [9] is out of date, we changed it to "using SNS, such as Facebook or Twitter." This change may prevent the negative reverse weights that occur due to high collinearity among the measurements reported in [11]. We constructed questions measuring the overall contribution of MIS to QoL as reflective indicators based on a modified satisfaction-with-life scale (SWLS) or as we call it an improvement-with-life-scale (IWLS).…”

“…Eleven relationships have been proposed [9] between the individual and overall contribution of QoL in Korea and Japan, some of which have been found to have a stronger influence on the overall contribution. Reference [10] and [11] measured the relationship between MIS and QoL of Japanese students, and tested a hypothesis regarding each variable's positive coefficient. Moreover, these studies examined the contribution of life domains to the QoL using MIS based on the bottom-up spillover theory.…”

This paper aims to identify and examine the relationships between individual life domains of mobile information services (MIS) and the overall domain, and their impact on the quality of life (QoL) of Japanese Internet users. Questionnaires were distributed online to Japanese Internet users aged 15 to 69, sampled from Japan's Internet population. We obtained 2,997 effective responses, or 72.1% of the entire sample. Comprehensive analyses of the relationships between constructs were conducted using PLS-SEM as this analytical method is appropriate for a model with a reflective construct and formative constructs. The results based on the bottom-up spillover theory clearly indicated that the relationship between individual and overall contribution in the specified model is valid and reliable for analysis. The contribution of the health life domain has the highest influence on the overall contribution to the QoL for Japanese Internet users as demonstrated by this study for the first time. Further, positive significant individual domains were noted in a descending order, as follows: cultural life domain, trustworthy life domain, leisure life domain, consumer life domain, and safety life domain.
