Abstract

The objective of this research was to examine effects of an Integrative Approach Group Counseling Program. Participants consisted of 24 youth who showed high level on internet addiction in pretest, and they divided into two groups: one for experimental group of twelve, the other for control group of twelve. In order to evaluate the effects of the program, an experimental group was exposed to the program and a control group without exposure to the program were compared. The program was administered over eight weekly sessions, each session lasting seventy minutes. The Self-Control Scale, Spirituality Scale, Internet Addiction Scale were used in a pretest, posttest, and follow-up test. As the result of statistical analysis, t test, the treatment group showed a significant statistically increasing degree of self-control and spirituality, decreasing internet addiction level. The results of this research indicated the positive effects of an Integrative Approach Group Counseling Program on self-control, spirituality, and internet addiction.
