Abstract

This research paper investigates the effectiveness of Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) in enhancing study skills and reducing stress levels among adolescent boys who are addicted to smartphones. The proliferation of smartphones has raised concerns about their impact on adolescents' academic performance and mental well-being. This study explores the potential benefits of SKY practices, including meditation and breathing techniques, on study skills and stress management. A sample of 20 adolescent boys identified as smartphone addicted participated in a structured SKY intervention program for a duration of 12 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using standardized measures of study skills (Study skills questionnaire) and stress levels (Stress questionnaire by Latha Satish). The findings of this research aimed to contribute to the development of effective interventions for addressing smartphone addiction and promoting academic success and psychological well-being among adolescents.
