Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of SPACE software on reducing addiction and cell phone dependence in young people. A 25-year-old person with cell phone addiction and dependence was identified by a mobile phone addiction questionnaire (2014). Subjects were intervened with SPACE software for 12 sessions using a single subject research design (ABA) and then followed up for three weeks after the intervention. Finally, the data obtained in the baseline, intervention and follow-up stages were analyzed using visual diagram analysis, percentage of overlapping data (PAND), effect size and recovery percentage. The results showed that using SPACE software reduces addiction and cell phone dependence.
