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. Gulzhan Niyazova collected pre- and post-intervention data on problematic internet use and psychological well-being, published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze changes in problematic internet use based on pre-post scores from the Chen Internet Addiction Scale.
• Evaluate improvements in psychological well-being based on pre-post scores from the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale.
• Study behavioral changes in digital habits based on process indicators like passive scrolling and deliberate online planning.
• Assess the effectiveness of multi-component educational frameworks integrating critical digital literacy and digital self-regulation.

Strengths

• Dataset includes results from 416 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Pre-post comparisons show statistically significant changes: a 7.1% reduction in problematic internet use and a 3.6% improvement in psychological well-being.
• Process indicators capture specific behavioral changes, such as passive scrolling decreasing from 61.3% to 42.8%.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the two universities in Kazakhstan.
