A Study on the Effectiveness of Rest Shame Interventions Based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Reducing Social Media Addiction

December 3, 2025 updated by: The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine
This study will employ a randomised controlled trial design to systematically intervene in university students' rest shaming through a structured intervention programme grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), thereby examining its efficacy in reducing social media addiction. Through this research, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT interventions in alleviating rest shaming and demonstrate that operationalising rest shaming influences social media addiction.
