Abstrak

Social media has negative aspects such as wasting time, reducing productivity, triggering laziness, and reducing direct interaction, which can potentially lead to antisocial behavior. Self-management, known as self-control, is the ability of a person to regulate their mental and emotional potential to achieve a specific goal. Given the importance of self-management in addressing social media addiction and the high prevalence of such addiction among students, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of self-management techniques in reducing social media addiction among students. The study shows that self-management techniques can be an effective method for reducing excessive social media use, although the effect is not significant.
