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. The dataset includes pre-post psychometric scores from the Chen Internet Addiction Scale and Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, showing a 7.1% reduction in problematic internet use.

Strengths

• Includes data from 416 participants, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Reports statistically significant changes, including a 7.1% reduction in CIAS scores and a 3.6% increase in Ryff scale scores.
• Captures specific behavioral process indicators, such as passive scrolling decreasing from 61.3% to 42.8%.

Limitations
