Adolescents are more and more swamped with old and new forms of digital media. Electronic media, such as smart and online media, has grown in popularity over the past decade, and these newer digital media offer both reimbursement and fear for the health of children and adolescents. The purpose of study was to assess the level of digital addiction and its impact on psychosocial behaviour in adolescents. A descriptive study was conducted among 100 school adolescents in Punjab. A non-probability sampling technique was used to assign samples and information was collected from adolescents. A digital addiction scale and standardized tools like UCLA and DASS were used to collect the data. 53% of adolescents have moderate digital addiction. It was also concluded that there was a positive correlation between digital addiction and psychosocial behaviour among adolescents. A significant relationship was found between the degree of digital addiction and selected demographic variables. It was also concluded that there is a significant relationship between psychosocial behaviour and certain demographic variables. Digital addiction and its effect on psychosocial behaviour among adolescents can be prevented, and coping can be improved if you pay attention and recognize yourself in the previous phase.
