Digital Socialization Intervention Data for University Students in Kazakhstan

A 2026 study by Gulzhan Niyazova collected data from 416 university students aged 17–23 in Kazakhstan. It includes pre- and post-intervention scores for internet addiction and psychological well-being, alongside behavioral process indicators. The dataset is stored in a DOCX file.

Use Cases

• Evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions on reducing problematic internet use based on Chen Internet Addiction Scale scores.
• Analyze changes in psychological well-being following a digital socialization program based on Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale scores.
• Study behavioral shifts in digital habits based on metrics like passive scrolling and deliberate online use planning.
• Model the relationship between digital self-regulation strategies and internet addiction levels among young adults.

Strengths

• Includes data from 416 university students, providing a substantial sample size.
• Contains validated psychometric scores from the Chen Internet Addiction Scale and Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale.
• Shows statistically significant changes: a 7.1% reduction in problematic internet use and a 3.6% improvement in psychological well-being.
• Captures specific behavioral process indicators, 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 sampled in Kazakhstan.
