Digital Socialization Intervention Data for University Students in Kazakhstan

416 university students aged 17–23 from two Kazakh universities participated in a six-week blended learning intervention in 2026. The dataset likely contains pre-post measurements of problematic internet use (Chen Internet Addiction Scale) and psychological well-being (Ryff Scale) collected by Gulzhan Niyazova. Process indicators of digital behavior change are also included.

Use Cases

• Evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions on reducing problematic internet use based on pre-post CIAS scores
• Analyze correlations between digital behavior changes and psychological well-being based on Ryff Scale scores
• Model the impact of digital self-regulation strategies on online behavior based on process indicators like passive scrolling reduction
• Study the psychometric properties of addiction and well-being scales in a specific cultural context based on baseline validation results

Strengths

• Includes data from 416 participants, providing a substantial sample size
• Contains validated psychometric scores from the Chen Internet Addiction Scale and Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale
• Provides specific pre-post change metrics: CIAS score decreased 7.1%, Ryff score increased 3.6%
• Includes detailed process indicators like changes in passive scrolling (61.3% to 42.8%) and deliberate online planning (28.4% to 57.6%)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is from a convenience sample of two universities in Kazakhstan, which may limit generalizability
