Summary
This study tested a special addiction management model in 80 sixth-grade students who were at high risk for digital addiction. Half of the students took part in the program, while the other half did not. Researchers measured changes in digital addiction levels and psychological resilience before, right after, and one month after the program. The goal was to see if the model could help reduce addictive behaviors and strengthen mental coping skills.
