Four Step Program for iPhone Addiction in Teens
Four Step Program for Iphone Addictions in Teens This program outlines how to change iPhone addiction in high school students using Hull's four-step theory. Hull theorized that learning a novel behaviour occurs through four different events; a drive or motivation, cues, response or behaviour, and reinforcement. This program changes iPhone addiction by targeting these four events. The program is designed specifically for high school students who are particularly vulnerable due to peer influence and emerging sense of personal identity. The program aims to help students learn the harms of iPhone addiction and feel confident in their decisions to restrict iPhone use for better mental health.
