详细说明
This study, titled "A 4-Step Training Program for Social Media Addiction, Cognitive Fatigue, Procrastination, Academic Burnout, and Psychological Distress among School and University Students," aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured four-step training program in reducing social media addiction and its associated psychological and academic difficulties.
The target population will consist of N = 400 school and university students.
From the eligible participants, Participants will be divided into experimental and control groups, with 20 participants in each group from the school population and 20 participants in each group from the university population.
The experimental groups will receive a structured four-step training program over four weeks, while the control groups will not receive the training intervention during the study period.
Participants will be assessed at pre-test and post-test using standardized measures of social media addiction, cognitive fatigue, procrastination, academic burnout, and psychological distress.
Data will be analyzed using SPSS, including descriptive and inferential statistical analyses to examine changes from pre-test to post-test and differences between the experimental and control groups.

Social Networking Addiction Scale ( SNAS)
大体时间:At screening after 4 weeks, and reassessment upto 6 months
|
The SNA scale is designed to measure the level of social media addiction.
The SNA scale is comprised of six subscales, namely salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse (citation).
Each subscale has 3 to 4 items, and each item is rated between "strongly disagree=1" and score>84 reported social media addiction.
The scale has shown a strong test-retest reliability of 0.88 and good validity, as reported by Shahnawaz and Rehman (2020).
