This study examines the relationships among Digital Literacy (DL), Digital Well-being (DWb), and Digital Moral Values (DMV) perceptions among Syrian Migrant middle school students in Turkiye. Using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, data were collected from 526 students in grades 5-8 at a Migrant camp school located in a city in Eastern of Turkiye during the 2024-2025 academic year. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated satisfactory construct validity for the adapted measures used in the study. The structural model results indicated that DL negatively predicted both DWb and DMV, contrary to the expected positive direction. Furthermore, the direct effect of DWb on DMV was not statistically significant, and no mediation effect was observed. These findings suggest that higher DL may heighten students' sensitivity to online risks and ethical challenges, potentially leading to lower scores in perceived well-being and moral values. Consequently, the study highlights that educational programs for migrant students should prioritize not only technical skills but also ethical reflection and digital well-being to foster safer digital integration.
