Abstract

Social media addiction is a growing concern among adolescents worldwide, with potentially serious impacts on psychological health, academic performance, and social relationships. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychological program designed to reduce social media addiction among tenth-grade students in Duhok Governorate, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements. The sample consisted of 23 tenth-grade students (aged 15 years and above) who exhibited high levels of social media addiction according to a validated scale. The intervention was a 12-session psychological program based on cognitive-behavioral approaches, delivered twice weekly for 45 minutes per session. The program incorporated techniques such as self-control training, rational thinking skills, time management, relaxation exercises, and positive reinforcement strategies. Data were collected using the Social Media Addiction Scale (Younis, 2016) and analyzed using t-tests and Cohen's effect size calculations. Findings revealed that participants had high levels of social media addiction at baseline (M=64.52, SD=5.17), significantly higher than the hypothetical mean (t=4.18, p<0.05). Following the intervention, there was a statistically significant decrease in addiction levels (M=53.43, SD=10.13; t=5.24, p<0.05), with a large effect size (Cohen's d=1.09). The results indicate that the psychological program was effective in reducing social media addiction among the participants. The study demonstrates that structured psychological interventions based on cognitive and behavioral approaches can effectively reduce social media addiction among adolescents. The findings suggest that implementing similar programs in educational settings could be beneficial in addressing the growing problem of social media addiction among students, particularly in regions where digital literacy education and awareness about risks of excessive social media use are limited

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of a psychological program in enhancing psychological resilience among abused women in the Domiz refugee camp in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The research employed an experimental one-group design (pre-test/post-test) with a purposive sample of abused women. Results showed that participants before the program implementation suffered from low levels of psychological resilience compared to the hypothetical mean of the scale, reflecting the impact of violence, psychological trauma, and refugee conditions on their ability to adapt. After implementing the psychological program, the results demonstrated a significant statistical improvement in psychological resilience levels among the sample members, confirming the effectiveness of the applied psychological program. The findings also indicated a significant decrease in cortisol levels, suggesting improved physiological indicators related to psychological stress. These results emphasize the importance of structured psychological interventions based on scientific foundations in helping abused women recover from the effects of violence and trauma, and highlight the necessity of generalizing such programs in refugee camps and institutions caring for abused women, considering them part of preventive and therapeutic strategies to address psychological and social challenges.

Abstract

This research aimed to measure the effectiveness of a psychological program in enhancing physiological resilience represented by cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels among Syrian refugee abused women in Domiz camp in Duhok governorate. The researchers used a quasi-experimental design with a single group and pre-post measurements. The research sample consisted of (20) Syrian refugee abused women selected purposively. A psychological program consisting of (16) sessions distributed over seven weeks was applied, and cortisol and CRP levels in blood were measured before and after the program implementation. Results showed a statistically significant decrease in cortisol levels from (436.30) to (289.30) with a calculated t-value of (4.01), while no significant changes were observed in CRP levels. The researchers recommend implementing similar psychological programs with longer application periods to enhance the effect on inflammatory indicators.

Abstract

The current research aims to study the impact of the effectiveness of a psychological program to reduce social media addiction among preparatory school students and its relationship to parental educational level. The researchers employed a quasi-experimental design on a sample consisting of (23) female students from Media Girls' School in Dohuk Governorate, who were purposively selected from those with high levels of social media addiction. The psycho-educational program consisting of (12) sessions was implemented at a rate of two sessions per week, with each session lasting (45) minutes. The researchers used the Social Media Addiction Scale developed by Younis (2016), consisting of (30) items. The results showed no statistically significant differences in program effectiveness attributed to fathers' or mothers' educational levels, indicating that the effectiveness of the psycho-educational program is not influenced by parental educational level, and that other psychological and social factors may play a more important role in determining the success of therapeutic intervention.
