Özet

This study utilized the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to create comprehensive strategies for managing internet addiction among students. An online NGT session was conducted with seven experts in student psychological well-being, focusing on three primary areas: cognitive restructuring, behavioral modification, and skill development. The results revealed strong agreement among the experts for all proposed strategies, with support levels ranging from 85.71% to 100%. Notably, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions, positive self-talk exercises, alternative activities, and social skills training workshops received unanimous backing. These findings advocate for a multi-dimensional approach to addressing internet addiction, integrating cognitive, behavioral, and skill-oriented interventions. The study offers valuable guidance for educators, counselors, and policymakers in crafting effective programs to combat internet addiction among students.
