<![CDATA[Social media addiction among students can interfere with learning concentration, discipline, self-control, and social interaction in the school environment. This study aimed to analyze changes in students’ social media addiction scores after participating in behavior contract counseling. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 10 tenth-grade students of SMKS St. Willibrodus Betun selected through purposive sampling from 28 students based on the high social media addiction category. Data were collected using a Likert-scale social media addiction questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test, paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and effect size. The results showed that the mean social media addiction score decreased from 82.3 in the pretest to 61.7 in the posttest, with a reduction of 20.6 points. These findings indicate that behavior contract counseling was associated with a decrease in social media addiction scores after the intervention. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously because this study did not include a control group.]]>
