Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Problematic Internet Use Scale-Adolescent (PIUS-A)

    The scale consists of 27 items and is of a five-point Likert type. The lowest possible score on the scale is 27, and the highest score is 135. Higher scores on the scale indicate that adolescents' problematic internet use has increased and become unhealthy. The PIUS-A scale has three subscales: negative consequences of internet use, excessive use, and social benefit/social comfort.

    Data will be collected two times: pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • The Adolescent Self Regulatory Inventory (ASRI)

    Data will be collected two times: pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention.

  • Kidcope

    Data will be collected two times: pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention.

  • The Family Relationship Scale for Children

    Data will be collected two times: pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention.
