Abstract

This study examines the impact of digital detoxification on the psychological well-being of Generation Z in North India. Using structured questionnaires, data was collected from individuals aged 11 to 26. The measurement model's validity and reliability were confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis. Also, the mediation analysis was performed using the SPSS macro PROCESS by Hayes. The study confirms that digital detoxification positively influences well-being, mediated by reduced cognitive overload. Findings highlight the need for mindful technology use and periodic disconnection to enhance mental health. This research contributes insights into the complex interplay of digital detox, cognitive load, and well-being, offering implications for promoting healthier digital habits and improved psychological health.
