This research aimed to develop and investigate the effects of a life skills enhancement program on the life skills and risk behaviors of social media addiction in early adolescence.
This research used a quasi-experimental design for a controlled study with a pre-test and post-test that collected data through a general information questionnaire, Social Media Addiction Screening Scale: S-MASS, and a life skills test. There were 48 samples recruited by purposive sampling from 5 schools in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The life skills enhancement program was developed under the theory of cognitive and behavioral therapy in combination with group therapy or occupational therapy. The program had a total of 10 sessions, with 1 session per week for 60 minutes and 10 weeks in total.
For the results, a statistically significant difference in post-test SMASS scores between the control and experimental group was found (p<0.01). Moreover, a statistically significant difference in the experimental group between pre-test and post-test using S-MASS scores decreased significantly after participating in the program but not in the control group. This result is similar to the comparative data of life skills scores that revealed there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test only in the experimental group. For the comparative data between the control and experimental group, however, there were no statistically significant differences in pre-test and post-test life skills scores between the two groups.
From the results, it can be summarized that the life skills enhancement program had affected an increase in life skills and a decrease in risky social media usage among adolescents.
本研究旨在开发并调查一项生活技能提升计划对青春期早期社交媒体成瘾者生活技能及风险行为的影响。
本研究采用准实验设计进行对照研究，通过一般信息问卷、社交媒体成瘾筛查量表（S-MASS）和生活技能测试进行前测和后测来收集数据。通过立意抽样从泰国清迈的5所学校招募了48名样本。生活技能提升计划是在认知行为疗法理论的基础上结合团体治疗或职业治疗开发的。该计划共有10节课程，每周1节，每节60分钟，共10周。
结果显示，对照组和实验组在后测S-MASS分数上存在统计学显著差异（p<0.01）。此外，实验组在前测和后测之间使用S-MASS分数存在统计学显著差异，参与该计划后分数显著下降，而对照组则没有。这一结果与生活技能分数的比较数据相似，该数据显示仅在实验组中前测和后测之间存在统计学显著差异。然而，对于对照组和实验组之间的比较数据，两组在前测和后测生活技能分数上没有统计学显著差异。
从结果可以总结出，生活技能提升计划对青少年生活技能的提高和危险社交媒体使用的减少产生了影响。
