Each participant was randomly assigned to either atreatment or control group. The treatment group received eight 60-min sessions of CBT (n = 8), whereas thecontrol group received two 60-min sessions of CBT. The effectiveness of the CBT program was assessed basedon the Youth Smartphone Addiction Self-Diagnosis Scale (S scale), Self-Control Scale, and Children’sAssessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE). The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used for validation, aswell as to determine the effectiveness of the program.
