Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Short Video Addiction Scale — Pre-test, Post-test (8th week), Follow-up Test (12th week)
  The Short Video Addiction Scale, developed by Ye et al. (2022), aims to identify addiction, negative emotions, and experiences associated with watching short videos. The scale is unidimensional, consists of ten items, and uses a five-point Likert-type format. There are no reverse-scored items. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of addiction. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Türk and Yıldırım (2024), and the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was reported as 0.82.
