Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group counseling using the Keeping Diaries of Events technique in reducing excessive dating app use among adolescents after experiencing a romantic breakup. The research employed a quantitative approach with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest design. Five participants were selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. Data were collected using a Likert-scale instrument, diary documentation, and observation sheets. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used as the inferential analysis technique to evaluate differences between pretest and posttest scores. The results showed a significance value of 0.043, indicating a meaningful decrease in excessive dating app use after the intervention. These findings suggest that group counseling combined with diary-based self-monitoring contributes to improved emotional awareness and behavioral regulation among adolescents following breakup-related distress.
