In order to collect data, Yang Internet Addiction Questionnaire (1996), Zuckerman Impulsivity Scale (1978), Dennis and Vanderwaal Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (2010) and Barratt Impulsivity Scale (1959) were used. Eight 90-minute sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy based on mindfulness and emotion-oriented therapy were performed separately for the experimental groups. The data were analyzed using the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Ben-Ferroni post hoc test.
