Mindfulness vs. TikTok: can a 10-session program break teens' video addiction?
NCT ID NCT07374666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mindfulness program can help 58 high school students reduce their addiction to short-form videos like TikTok or Instagram Reels. Teens who score high on a video addiction scale will either join the program or a control group. Researchers will measure changes in addiction scores and video-watching flow before, after, and at follow-up.
