The Effect of Mindfulness Training on Mobile Phone Addiction in College Students

Abstract

The relationship between modern science and technology and human civilisation has always been one of the topics of general concern in society. Mobile phone addiction is now very common in universities, and it has serious impacts on the physical and mental health of university students. There is currently a great deal of interest in positive thinking as an effective way to correct addictive behaviour. Since it is an easy-to-implement and highly feasible intervention , positive thinking training has been widely used as a new intervention in the medical and educational fields. This paper provides a systematic review of research on mobile phone addiction and positive thinking training among university students between 2015 and 2021, indicating whether positive thinking training is effective for the treatment of mobile phone addiction, the mechanism of action and whether this effect is long-lasting.
