“…On the contrary, heavy academic responsibilities and poor academic performance can easily lead to criticism, reproaches from parents and ridicule from classmates. This sense of failure encourages young people to turn to different ways to relieve tension, and the internet can satisfy their internal needs to some extent (Bao et al, 2023).…”

Today’s youth actively use the Internet, which increases the risk of developing addiction, and thus raises the issue of investigating its factors to prevent the problem promptly and provide effective psychocorrection. The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological predictors of Internet addiction among young people. The study was based on a comparative analysis of Ukrainian and Chinese samples. The Internet Addiction Test by K. Young was used to identify the formation of Internet addiction; the Big Five Personality Inventory NEO-FFI and the Beck Depression Inventory were used to diagnose psychological characteristics; respondents were also offered a questionnaire that included questions about demographic data and current situation. It was found that in the Ukrainian sample, 36.3% of respondents have a moderate or severe degree of Internet addiction, while in the Chinese sample, this share is 31.3%. Differences in personal predictors of Internet addiction have been found: the level of Internet addiction among Ukrainian youth is positively correlated with depression, neuroticism, and the impact of war, while it is inversely related to extraversion and conscientiousness. In the group of Chinese youth, only the neuroticism scale correlates with Internet addiction. The comparison showed that the level of depression among young people with Internet addiction in both countries is significantly higher than among young people without signs of addiction. There are significant differences between respondents in Ukraine and China on the scales of neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion, and most notably, openness. It was found that Ukrainian youth are characterised by higher levels of neuroticism and openness and lower levels of extraversion and conscientiousness compared to Chinese youth; no differences were found in terms of Internet addiction and depression. The study established that the common factor of Internet addiction among young people in both countries is depression; cultural differences and environmental factors lead to the fact that the predictors of addiction are different personality traits of young people. The practical significance of the study is that its results provide a better insight into the goals of influence in planning the prevention and psychocorrection of youth Internet addiction.

“…Moreover, the intervention's focus on fostering social connectedness may have provided participants with a stronger sense of belonging and support, further reducing the allure of risk-taking as a means of seeking stimulation or connection. The mediating role of school connectedness in adolescent risk-taking behavior (Bao et al, 2023) mirrors the potential of social connectedness, cultivated through the workshop, to serve as a buffer against the need to engage in risky behaviors.…”

“…The Social Connectedness Workshop is designed as an 8session intervention, each lasting 90 minutes, aimed at enhancing social connectedness, reducing risk-taking behaviors, and improving mood regulation among participants. The program integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, experiential exercises, and group discussions to foster a supportive environment for personal growth and learning (Bao et al, 2023;Fox, 2023;Lim, 2023;Ransome, 2023;Stone et al, 2014;Templeton, 2021).…”

“…The literature review highlights several studies that have examined the relationship between social connectedness, risk-taking behaviors, and mood regulation. For instance, Bao, Chen, Liang, and Zhang (2023) found that the quality of parent-child relationships significantly affects adolescents' risk-taking behaviors, with school connectedness serving as a mediating factor (Bao et al, 2023). Similarly, Meng (2020) demonstrated that social exclusion can increase risk-taking behavior, underscoring the importance of social connectedness in moderating such behaviors (Meng, 2020).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Social Connectedness Workshop in mitigating risk-taking behaviors and improving mood regulation among adults experiencing mild to moderate levels of social disconnection. It hypothesized that increased social connectedness through structured intervention would lead to significant improvements in these psychological domains. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 participants, aged 18-45, who were assigned to either an 8-session Social Connectedness Workshop (experimental group) or a control group receiving no intervention. Assessments using the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) for risk-taking behaviors and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) for mood regulation were conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and at a three-month follow-up. Data analysis was performed with SPSS-27, employing Analysis of Variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni post-hoc tests. Participants in the experimental group showed significant reductions in risk-taking behaviors, with mean scores decreasing from 43.99 (SD = 5.44) at baseline to 37.39 (SD = 6.99) at follow-up (p < 0.01). Mood regulation also improved significantly, with mean scores increasing from 82.99 (SD = 13.77) to 90.49 (SD = 13.55) in the same group (p < 0.01). No significant changes were observed in the control group across both variables. The intervention group's results displayed significant time, group, and interaction effects, indicating the workshop's effectiveness in achieving the study's objectives. The Social Connectedness Workshop effectively reduced risk-taking behaviors and enhanced mood regulation among participants, underscoring the importance of social ties and emotional support in psychological well-being. These findings suggest that structured social connectedness interventions can be a valuable component of mental health strategies aimed at reducing risk-taking behaviors and improving mood regulation.
