The high use of smartphones among Generation Z, particularly in online gaming activities, influences students’ thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This condition leads to phubbing behavior, namely ignoring social interactions, thus requiring interventions that address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects comprehensively. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of group counseling using the Rational Emotive Behavior approach in reducing phubbing behavior among high school students who are active online game players. The research design employed was a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects consisted of six students selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was a phubbing behavior scale, which had met validity and reliability requirements. The results indicate that group counseling with the Rational Emotive Behavior approach is effective in reducing phubbing behavior among high school students who engage in online gaming.References
