In order to be divided into two experimental and control groups, all the codes are written on sheets and from them, at first, 20 people will be randomly selected from the voting container for the experimental group and the rest for the control group, Blinding description: In assigning to two experimental and control groups, participants are not aware of the existence of two groups. The only explanation given to the control group is that due to a series of defects in the reward process and the deletion of the test results in the first stage (pre-test), treatment begins with a delay. Finally, after taking the post-test and following up and extracting the results, the treatment process is performed for the control group. N/A individuals with internet addiction. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Participants in the intervention group received 20 sessions of 30 to 45 minutes of emotional working memory training. In the present study, we aimed to treat the cognitive and emotional deficits associated with Internet addiction using the eWMT protocol developed by Schweizer et al. (2013; 2011). The basic goal of this treatment is to strengthen the cognitive and emotional functions of the brain (functions related to the prefrontal lobe; Krause-Utz et al., 2014). It is a dual emotional working memory training program that focuses on improving attention, inhibition, emotional regulation, and working memory. In addition to cognitive training, participants also receive emotional training (using visual and auditory stimuli). Participants indicate whether a face they are currently seeing is in the same spatial location as one presented previously and/or whether a word they hear is the same as the one heard previously. For optimal task performance, the affective content of the faces must be ignored, while the participant focuses on the content of the words. Continuous eWMT training (20 - 40 minute sessions) has resulted in significant progress for improving short-term memory performance in encrypting, storing, manipulating, and retrieving emotional information Meetings were held every other day. Intervention 2: Placebo group. In the placebo group, participants viewed two panels with geometrical shapes on a computer screen. The top panel presented three target shapes, which the participants had to identify with a mouse click in the bottom of the panel. These panels included 5-13 distractor shapes in addition to the targets. The number of distractors included with the targets was random. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Due to the fact that personal details such as surnames are not received from the participants and only at the beginning of the treatment period, separate codes are assigned to each participant, so the results can be collected in the form of programs such as Excel or SPSS has the ability to share. When: Two years after the results were published To whom: Only researchers working in scientific and academic institutions Conditions: The data are presented under conditions from which no research article has been extracted and any use of it is with the permission of the main researcher.
