The purpose of this study is to investigate the levels of TechnoWellness, happiness and optimism among bachelor's degree students at the University of Jordan, possible relationships between these factors, and possible differences according to gender and university faculty. Using a quantitative approach, 450 participants were selected by stratified random sampling from undergraduate students registered in the 2017/2018 academic year at the University of Jordan and measured on scales of TechnoWellness, happiness and optimism. Their levels of TechnoWellness and happiness were found to be average and their level of optimism high, with a statistically significant positive correlation between the variables. The results also revealed a statistically significant difference according to gender in TechnoWellness levels but not in happiness or optimism levels. Finally, there were no statistically significant differences according to faculty for any of the three variables.
