Abstract: (31 Views)
Introduction: Conceptual metaphors can facilitate the understanding of abstract concepts such as time and, as a result, reduce Internet addiction.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the metaphorical literacy training protocol in the time semantic domain on internet addiction and time metaphorical perception in employees.
Method: The method of this study was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study was the employees of government offices in Tehran, 2024. Through available sampling method, 40 employees of National Shoe Company were selected, and they were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (Each group with 20 people). The participants completed the questionnaires about Young's desire for virtual space and Raiisi, and Moghadasin's Time Metaphorical Perception in the pre-test and post-test stages. Metaphorical literacy training protocol in the semantic domain of time was designed based on the corpus of Raiisi, et al. and was taught to the participants in the experimental group for one and a half hours per week for three months. Finally, to analyze the data, the statistical test of multivariate analysis of covariance was used in SPSS-26 software.
Result: The results showed that; Metaphorical literacy training protocol in the time semantic field has been effective in reducing internet addiction and increasing time metaphorical perception in employees (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It seems protocols containing metaphorical content can affect the time perception, and improve the correct perception of time while using virtual space.
