A six-week mindfulness-based psychoeducational intervention reduced social media burnout and improved subjective well-being among adolescents. Thirty-two high school students in Türkiye were randomly assigned to either the intervention or a control group. The intervention included weekly sessions on present-moment awareness, digital detox strategies, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Self-report measures showed significant improvements in the experimental group, with reduced burnout and enhanced well-being sustained at a 30-day follow-up. The findings suggest that school-based mindfulness programs can foster psychological resilience and digital well-being in adolescents.
