The study aimed to review the literature on the specificity of study addiction and interventions aimed at reducing its risk and negative consequences using Neurofeedback technology. Study addiction is the most common addictive behavior in student populations – previous studies indicate a high risk among about 15% of students (Atroszko et al. 2021). Discussion: Despite the dynamic development of research on study addiction and numerous debates about the balance between studying and leisure, stress and burnout are increasing, not decreasing. Study addiction is significantly associated with chronic stress, anxiety, depres‑ sion, physical health problems, loneliness, and reduced school and academic achievements. Study addiction is also closely related to the inability to relax. Therefore, there is a great need to reduce stress and burnout – phenomena strongly associated with addiction to studying. Neurofeedback technology is effective in developing relaxation skills and reducing stress (Tabachnik, 2015). Conclusions: As research shows, especially focusing on the alpha rhythm, best observed in the occipital lobe with eyes closed, brings benefits in deepening the state of relaxation. Similar stud‑ ies were conducted among people addicted to alcohol and brought effects in the reduction in anxiety. However, the literature review did not indicate any studies on using this method in study addiction. We designed a pilot study for which we obtained funding from the Ministry of Education. Its aim is to examine the effectiveness of relaxation training

Obsessive‑compulsive personality disorder vs. study addiction: an empirical study on association and relationships with well‑being

Na: 28^th International Student Scienitific Conference

Data: 13-15 kwietnia 2023

Streszczenie:

Young musicians are a particular group with a higher risk of psychological vulnerabilities that affect their development and career. Aim: The study aimed to examine the relationship between obsessive‑compulsive personality disorder, study addiction, and well‑being among students of music academies. Method and Materials: A total of 255 students from music academies took part in the study. The Bergen Study Addiction Scale, the Five‑Factor Obsessive Compulsive Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Three‑Item Loneliness Scale, and single‑item measure of learning engagement were used. Multiple hierarchical regression analyses showed that study addiction was related to well‑being above and beyond OCPD and showed a stronger relationship with deteriorated functioning. The results of the mediation also showed that study addiction fully mediated between OCPD and stress and loneliness and partially between OCPD and anxiety and depression. The moderation analyses revealed that there was no association between OCPD and depression among students with high study addiction. Conclusions: To sum up, study addiction seems to be an independent disorder from OCPD and is associated with considerable harm. Further systematic studies are highly warranted to provide better help.
