Mengurangi Kecanduan Gadget dengan Teknik Restrukturisasi Kognitif untuk Menambah Kompetensi dan Kepercayaan Diri

Abstract

Gadget addiction is a condition in which an individual loses self-control regarding their devices; it often stems from a strong affinity for the technology and a compulsion driven by desire. Consequently, this addiction can have negative consequences if not managed constructively. Therefore, individuals should cultivate confidence in their own abilities and avoid being hindered by doubts or negative thoughts. Cognitive Restructuring techniques can help transform irrational thoughts into rational ones, enabling individuals to trust in their competence rather than worrying about hypothetical future events. Confidence makes it easier to face challenges and reduces anxiety, ultimately helping to enhance one's competence.
