The effectiveness of a dialectical behavioral program to Reducing Internet Gaming Disorder among Education College Students at the New Valley University

The aim of the research was to reduce internet gaming disorder among students of the College of Education through a dialectical behavioral program. The research group consisted of 30 students (13 females, 17 males) from the fourth year of primary education, with an average age of 20.8 years and a standard deviation of 0.5. A quasi-experimental approach was used, and the research tools included an internet gaming disorder scale (prepared by the researcher) and a dialectical behavioral program (prepared by the researcher). The results indicated the effectiveness of the dialectical behavioral program in reducing internet gaming disorder among students of the College of Education. There were statistically significant differences between pre- and post-measurements favoring the post-measurement of the internet gaming disorder scale. Moreover, there were statistically significant differences between pre- and follow-up measurements favoring the follow-up measurement of the internet gaming disorder scale. However, there were no statistically significant differences between post- and follow-up measurements of the internet gaming disorder scale.
