Craving behavioral intervention

The craving behavioral intervention (CBI) was developed based on the framework of craving, combining with behavior intervention (Dong and Potenza, 2014), and conducted among individuals with IGD.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Craving behavioral intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The CBI was given once a week for 6 weeks, conducted by four therapists. A pair of therapists was randomly assigned to a CBI+ group. Each session included 5 parts in 2.5-3 hours: warming-up exercise, discussion about the homework from the last session, main structured activity, brief summary, and the homework assignment. There were 6 sessions with each focused on a topic: recognize craving and its relationship with IGD; reduce craving through ameliorating the salience of cues and irrational beliefs, withdrawal symptoms and other negative affects; enhance self-monitoring and control for craving through time management training; relieve fulfillment of psychological needs through Internet use and attenuate the relation between craving and gaming behaviors through coping skill training

Control

The control group were individuals with Internet gaming disorder who did not receive any intervention but were scanned twice with the similar interval period as experimental group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
