Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether an 8-week mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention can improve cognitive and executive functions, particularly inhibitory control, and reduce mobile phone addiction in male university students. It will also explore the potential mechanisms by which mindfulness-based Tai Chi affects mobile phone addiction behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does mindfulness-based Tai Chi improve inhibitory control and reduce mobile phone addiction in male university students? Does mindfulness-based Tai Chi enhance overall executive functions, including inhibition, updating, and shifting abilities? Researchers will compare the experimental group (receiving mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention) to the control group (maintaining their usual routine without intervention) to see if mindfulness-based Tai Chi leads to greater improvements in cognitive and executive functions and reduces mobile phone addiction.

Participants will:

Practice mindfulness-based Tai Chi for 8 weeks Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments of mobile phone addiction, mindfulness levels, and executive function Engage in weekly Tai Chi practice sessions Complete self-report diaries of mobile phone usage and mindfulness experiences

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

The mindfulness-based Tai Chi Chuan

Studies have shown that compared with the Tai Chi Chuan, MTCC is more relaxing to practitioner. The Tai Chi Chuan section is based on the Yang's movements, which not only conform to the basic technical characteristics, such as the steps, stance, techniques, movement of the center of gravity, and the coordination of the whole body between the movements, but also are clear, smooth, simple, easy to learn, and beautiful. The mindfulness section is complemented by soothing, soft music to guide the practitioner to focus on himself and return to inner peace. The essence of the program is to help practitioners focus their attention and achieve inner peace during practice. Through the practice of MTCC, practitioners are encouraged to face the difficulties they encounter in reality and to develop a positive and open mind to deal with negative emotions and thoughts in daily life.
