How can we assess the effectiveness of blocking mobile internet on smartphones in relation to subjective well-being?

Welcome.

Wonderful. Such a big help!

Evaluating the effectiveness of blocking mobile internet on smartphones in relation to subjective well-being involves:
1. Pre-post surveys: Administer scales (e.g., SWLS, PANAS) to measure life satisfaction and emotional states before/after internet blocking.
2. Behavioral tracking: Monitor screen time reductions and record activities replaced (e.g., reading, social interaction) via self-report or apps.
3. Longitudinal analysis: Conduct follow-ups to assess sustained effects, comparing groups with voluntary vs. enforced blocking to isolate impacts.
