Although not officially recognized as a diagnostic category, its inclusion among behavioral addictions reflects its growing impact on mental health. Social media addiction may lead to psychological symptoms such as family and social conflicts, stress due to unmet responsibilities, anxiety, and irritability. This problem has become especially critical among young people. A 2025 meta-analysis found the prevalence of social media addiction among university students to be 18.4% and reported negative effects on academic achievement. Research also shows that social media addiction is associated with decreased self-esteem, emotion regulation difficulties, and dysfunctional interpersonal relationships. Social comparison tendencies and idealized digital identity presentations further harm young individuals' self-perceptions, contributing to low self-esteem and social anxiety.\n\nInterpersonal difficulties experienced in relationships are defined as \"interpersonal problems,\" while the cognitive-behavioral processes used to resolve these difficulties are called \"interpersonal problem solving.\" These skills are essential for effective conflict resolution, social adaptation, relationship quality, and overall well-being. Social media shapes both the emergence and resolution of interpersonal problems; however, current knowledge in this area is limited. Excessive use contributes to interpersonal conflicts, deterioration of relationships, and reduced face-to-face communication. Thus, social media addiction may impair interpersonal problem-solving skills by disrupting daily functioning.\n\nAlthough the literature includes correlational studies on social media addiction, self-esteem, and interpersonal functioning, research testing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based psychoeducation remains scarce. This study offers a theoretical contribution by applying a third-wave therapy approach to the psychosocial challenges of the digital age. It aims to evaluate the effects of an ACT-based psychoeducation program developed for young individuals with social media addiction on self-esteem and interpersonal problem-solving skills. Given the limited number of such programs in Türkiye, this study is original and aims to fill an important gap in the literature.",[79,80,81,82],"Social Media Addiction","Self Esteem","Interpersonal Problem","Problem-solving",[79,84,85,86,87,88],"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)","Psychoeducation","Interpersonal Problem-Solving","Self-Esteem","Behavioral Addiction","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-01-06",{"date":92,"type":93},"2026-01-15","ACTUAL",{"date":95,"type":73},"2026-01-10",{"date":97,"type":73},"2026-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
