The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy in reducing Nihilistic orientation among university students who are addicted to social networks

The study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a program based on the techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing nihilistic orientation among a sample of Fayoum University students who are addicted to social networks. To achieve this goal, the study tools represented in the nihilistic orientation scale of university students (prepared by: the researcher) were applied to a component consisting of (683) male and female students at the university stage in some colleges of Fayoum University, to choose two groups from this sample based on the account of the higher quadrant and the lower quadrant, and after their inventory, the researcher applied a questionnaire to social media addiction, where the study sample in the light of this criterion (32) Male and female students, after a group of Steps for the selection of the experimental sample was selected (20) of the students who have an addiction to social networks were divided into two groups, namely: the experimental group (10 participants), and the control group (10 participants). The results of the study concluded that:
- There were statistically significant differences between the ranks levels of the experimental group scores in the pre and post measurements on the scale of the nhlsti / nihilistic orientation and its dimensions in favor of the dimensional measurement.
- There were statistically significant differences between the mean levels of the degrees of the experimental group and the control group in the dimensional measurement on the scale of the nhlsti / nihilistic orientation and its dimensions in favor of the experimental group.
- There were no statistically significant differences between the ranks scores for the degrees of the male experimental group and the experimental group for females in the dimensional measurement on the nhlsti / nihilistic orientation scale and its dimensions, except for the third dimension of the scale, there were differences in favor of females.
- There were no statistically significant differences between the ranks levels of the experimental group scores in the two dimensional and consecutive measurements on the scale of the nhlsti / nihilistic orientation and its dimensionsranks
