This study will employ a randomised controlled trial design to systematically intervene in university students' rest shaming through a structured intervention programme grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), thereby examining its efficacy in reducing social media addiction. Through this research, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT interventions in alleviating rest shaming and demonstrate that operationalising rest shaming influences social media addiction.

Inclusion Criteria:

• University students aged 18-25 who are capable of understanding and completing research-related tasks, and who have confirmed the presence of rest shaming experiences via the Rest Shaming Scale.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Individuals with a history of severe mental illness (such as clinically diagnosed depression, anxiety disorders, etc.), cognitive impairment, or an inability to cooperate in completing the research process.
