Abstract
Digital addiction among society has been a universal problem to many countries in the world. This addiction includes their excessive use of the digital electronics gadgets which are linked to the internet and are used for activities such as online-gaming, gambling and surfing social networking sites. These compulsive behaviours have caused negative effects to the addicts that lead to stress and major depressions, which in turn cause low quality of life. However, many previous studies mainly focus on factors and impact of digital addiction but is lacking in emphasizing on the prevention strategies in curbing digital addiction among adolescents in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims at developing an integrated digital addiction prevention framework which can help the authority to detect, correct and prevent the internet addiction among Malaysian adolescents in the long run. This study will adapt a qualitative approach to which data will be collected using focus groups interviews from the adolescents and experts. This research is expected to produce a digital addiction prevention framework which can be used as a blueprint for combating digital addiction among adolescents in Malaysia.
