Abstract

This research is experimental research that aimed to develop and to test the effectiveness of the enhancement of executive functions of the brain by neuro-linguistic program (NLPEFs) for secondary school students with internet addiction. The subjects were 60 secondary school students with internet addiction. They had a score of internet addiction at ≥ 51 points. They were randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental and a control group which consisted of 30 persons in each group by matching the executive functions score from Wisconsin card sorting (WCST-64). The research instruments were; 1) The WCST-64 2) Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Self-Report (BRIEF-SR) Thai-version and 3) The NLPEFs were developed by the researcher. The experiment lasted for 6 sessions, each session lasted for 50 minutes, for a total of two weeks. The assessments were done in 3 phases: pretest, posttest, and follow-up phases. The data was analyzed by a repeated-measures analysis of variance and paired-different test by Bonferroni method.

The results revealed that; 1) The experimental group had the mean score of EFs higher than those in the control group in the posttest and follow-up with statistically significant at .05 level. 2) The experimental group had the mean score of EFs in the posttest and follow-up higher than the pretest with statistically significant at .05 level. It was concluded that the EFs enhancement program with NLP affected enhancing EFs among secondary school students with internet addiction.
