Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to meta-analyze the effects of internet addiction treatment program for adolescents. To search for the previous studies published between 2000 and 2014, we searched through electronic databases including RISS, KISS, Newnonmun, KoreaMed, PubMed, DBPIA, and American Search Premier, using the search term ‘internet addiction’, ‘counseling’, ‘intervention’, ‘program’, ‘treatment’. We selected a total of 25 publications including journal articles, theses and dissertations which employed a control group design and standardized internet addiction measurement tools. The results are as follows: first, the average score of the effect sizes of 25 programs was -1.70 so that the large effect sizes were found for the internet addiction treatment programs. Second, the highest effect size was found in the high school group compared to the effect size of elementary or middle school. Third, the strong effect size was found in the reality treatment focused program rather than the cognitive-behavioral treatment-focused program. There were no significant effect sizes found in the integrative art treatment. Fourth, the higher effect size was found in the over 10-session programs and less than 60min per session. Fifth, for the effect sizes of outcome variables besides internet addiction, self-esteem, depression, and impulsivity were higher in order.
