Summary

This trial tests whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based approach, can help young adults reduce internet addiction and improve mental health. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive ACT or not, and changes in internet use, anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation will be measured. The goal is to see if ACT offers a more effective way to address the psychological roots of internet addiction than traditional therapies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a behavioral intervention
What this could lead to
If effective, ACT could offer a new, culturally adapted approach to help young adults reduce internet addiction and improve mental health.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply broadly. Success depends on participants' engagement and the therapy's fit in different cultural contexts.
