Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of group metacognitive therapy on internet addiction and cognitive-emotional regulation among adolescents. Methods: We used a quasi-experimental design that included pre-test s, post-tests, and follow-ups. In the 2020-2021 academic year, all the male adolescents in Qazvin City, Iran were included in this study. A total of 30 adolescents were randomly selected and assigned to intervention or control groups based on the convenience sampling method (n=15). We provided ten 90-min group metacognitive therapy sessions to the intervention group, while the control group received no intervention. The internet addiction questionnaire along with the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire was used to collect the data. We conducted the multivariate analysis of covariance, repeated measures, and Fisher least significant difference post hoc test via the SPSS software, version 26. Results: The results of this study demonstrated that group metacognitive therapy significantly affected adolescents’ internet addiction and cognitive emotion regulation (P<0.05). In addition, the analysis revealed that internet addiction and cognitive emotion regulation among adolescents were significantly different between intervention and control groups. The treatment remained unchanged at the follow-up stage (P<0.05). Conclusion: It is recommended that school and family counselors be trained and given executive duties in group metacognitive therapy, which influences Iranian adolescents. These methods may assist overactive adolescents and their families in achieving their learning goals through empowerment, analysis, and interpretation workshops and meetings.

团体元认知疗法对青少年网络成瘾及认知情绪调节的效果研究

目的:探讨团体元认知疗法对青少年网络成瘾和认知情绪调节的影响。方法:采用准实验设计，包括前测、后测和随访。在2020-2021学年，伊朗Qazvin市的所有男性青少年都被纳入本研究。采用方便抽样法，随机抽取30名青少年分为干预组和对照组(n=15)。我们对干预组进行10次90分钟的小组元认知治疗，而对照组不进行干预。采用网络成瘾问卷和认知情绪调节问卷进行数据收集。采用SPSS软件进行多变量协方差分析、重复测量和Fisher最小显著性差异事后检验。结果:本研究结果显示，群体元认知治疗对青少年网络成瘾和认知情绪调节有显著影响(P<0.05)。此外，在网络成瘾和认知情绪调节方面，干预组与对照组之间存在显著差异。随访期间治疗无变化(P<0.05)。结论:建议学校和家庭辅导员在团体元认知治疗中进行培训和执行任务，这对伊朗青少年有影响。这些方法可以通过授权、分析和解释研讨会和会议来帮助过度活跃的青少年及其家庭实现他们的学习目标。

期刊介绍： Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology® publishes articles representing the professional and applied activities of pediatric psychology. The journal comprehensively describes the breadth and richness of the field in its diverse activities;complements the scientific development of the field with information on the applied/clinical side;provides modeling that addresses the ways practicing pediatric psychologists incorporate empirical literature into day-to-day activities;emphasizes work that incorporates and cites evidence from the science base; andprovides a forum for those engaged in primarily clinical activities to report on their activities and inform future research activities. Articles include a range of formats such as commentaries, reviews, and clinical case reports in addition to more traditional empirical clinical studies. Articles address issues such as: professional and training activities in pediatric psychology and interprofessional functioning;funding/reimbursement patterns and the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of clinical services;program development;organization of clinical services and workforce analyses;applications of evidence based interventions in "real world" settings with particular attention to potential barriers and solutions and considerations of diverse populations;critical analyses of professional practice issues;clinical innovations, e.g., emerging use of technology in clinical practice;case studies, particularly case studies that have enough detail to be replicated and that provide a basis for larger scale intervention studies; andorganizational, state and federal policies as they impact the practice of pediatric psychology, with a particular emphasis on changes due to health care reform.
