Digital Detoxification as a Tool to Improve Emotional Well-Being of XI std Students

Excessive use of smartphones and digital devices in the digital era has become a significant concern among students, resulting in emotional disturbances such as stress, anxiety, irritability, and diminished self-control. Digital detoxification, defined as the voluntary reduction or controlled use of digital devices, has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance emotional well-being. This study statistically analyzes the impact of digital detoxification on the emotional well-being of higher secondary students. A sample of 100 Class XI students participated in a structured digital detox program lasting seven days. Pre-test and post-test surveys were conducted using standardized emotional well-being indicators. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in stress and anxiety levels, as well as a notable improvement in emotional stability following the detox period. These findings indicate that digital detoxification can serve as an effective tool for enhancing students’ emotional well-being and should be promoted within educational institutions.
