Abstract: In China, college students with mobile phone dependence are more and more common, which is accompanied by many psychological problems. We developed a group cognitive therapy (CBT) program for mobile phone dependence and studied its effects in Chinese college students. Forty-two Chinese college students, whose scores in the revised Chinese Test of Mobile Phone Dependence (C-TMD) were 37 to 42 points, were assigned to two conditions at a random: the group CBT intervention and the wait-list control condition. The result showed that the CBT group demonstrated significantly more decrease in measures of the C-TMD and Simplified Symptom Checklist (SSCL) than the wait-list controls at post-test and two-month follow-up.
