Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based program in reducing short form video addiction among adolescents. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design, including an intervention group and a control group.
Research Hypothesis:
Adolescents who participate in the Mindfulness-Based Program will have significantly lower short video addiction scores compared to those in the control group.

Detailed Description:
In recent years, the widespread use of social media platforms that allow users to create and consume short videos has raised concerns regarding their addictive potential. The rapid, attention-grabbing, and entertaining nature of short video content is believed to intensify reinforcement mechanisms that lead to excessive screen time and addictive behaviors. These platforms offer instant gratification, enhance the flow experience, and contribute to behavioral patterns such as "phubbing"-the act of ignoring one's surroundings and social interactions in favor of smartphone use.
Among adolescents, this trend is particularly alarming. Adolescents constitute the largest user group of short video platforms and are more susceptible to the negative impacts of such content. Excessive short video use has been associated with various adverse outcomes, including decreased academic performance, impaired sleep quality, reduced physical health, poor self-control, and the development of psychological issues. Additionally, perceived stress has been identified as a significant risk factor contributing to short video addiction, especially among students.
Mindfulness, defined as the ability to maintain a moment-to-moment awareness of one's experiences with an open and non-judgmental attitude, has emerged as a promising approach in addressing behavioral addictions. Mindfulness-based practices are known to improve emotional regulation, reduce stress and anxiety, enhance self-awareness, and support academic performance. As such, mindfulness has been proposed as a protective factor against internet and technology-related addictions.
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention in reducing short form video addiction among adolescents.
