First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special type of meditation—focusing on death—could help young adults (ages 18-29) reduce their smartphone addiction. 259 participants with problematic phone use were randomly assigned to either death-focused or traditional mindfulness meditation. The goal was to see if death meditation uniquely improved self-esteem, life meaning, and stress, leading to less phone use.
