“…Studies carried out in different countries with different cultures have shown the existence and prevalence of nomophobia and its relationship between the other psychological structures (Oksman & Turtiainen, 2004;Toda et al, 2006: Chóliz, 2010King et al, 2013;Sharma et al, 2015;Tavolacci et al, 2015;Yildirim et al, 2015;Adnan & Gezgin, 2016: Gezgin et al, 2017. The findings of this study indicate that students with higher nomophobia level tended to suffer from loneliness, lack of self-esteem and self-happiness.…”

This study focused on to examine prevalence of nomophobia among university students; and the relationship among nomophobia, self-esteem, loneliness and selfhappiness with respect to gender and year of study of the university students in Pakistan and Turkey. The study subjects consisted of 729 students 368 (50.5%) of which were from Turkey and 361 (49.5%) from Pakistan. The data were collected by using Nomophobia Scale (NMP-Q), UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8), Self-Happiness Scale, and Rosenberg' Self-Esteem Scale by the researchers from Pakistan and Turkey respectively. The relationship and the effect of each psychological structure on nomophobia were examined with multiple linear regression model. The difference across the categories of independent variables on each of the dependent variables (loneliness, selfhappiness, self-esteem and nomophobia) and on linear combination of dependent variables for each country was examined by multivariate MANOVA. According to multivariate effects results, the main effect of gender on self-esteem and nomophobia was statistically significant which indicates that differences between male and female students with respect to self-esteem and nomophobia were significant. The study demonstrated differences between Turkish and Pakistani students' score on nomophobia, loneliness and self-happiness were significant, while difference on selfesteem across countries was not statistically significant.

“…Un estudio compara los patrones de uso de jóvenes universitarios y profesionales, no encontrando diferencias ni comportamientos que sugieran diferencias en comportamiento adictivo (Ahmed, Ramzan, Qazi y Jabeen, 2011). Las muestras utilizadas suelen ser de conveniencia, siendo el método más habitual la distribución de una encuesta que es cumplimentada voluntariamente, con una tasa de respuesta que oscila entre el 69% (Lu et al, 2011) y el 98,5% (Toda, Monden, Kubo y Morimoto, 2006). Sin embargo, también existen trabajos con determinados niveles de aleatorización en la búsqueda de teléfonos a los que llamar para solicitar participación (Leung, 2007), o entrevistando a las 25 primeras personas que aparecen (Perry y Lee, 2007) o técnicas más sofisticadas, como el muestreo en múl-tiples etapas (Zulkefly y Baharudin, 2009 …”

“…Lu et al (2011) encontraron correlación positiva entre la dependencia de los mensajes de texto y la depresión, y una correlación negativa con la ansiedad. Toda et al (2006) no encontraron relación entre uso y abuso del móvil y variables de hábitos de vida, salvo una correlación significativa entre el abuso del móvil y el hábito de fumar en varones. Augner y Hacker (2011) han encontrado relación entre abuso del móvil y estrés crónico, baja estabilidad emocional y depresión, especialmente en mujeres y en personas de baja edad.…”

The mobile phone is a relatively new technological tool, versatile and accessible, and very attractive, especially for young people, but whose use involves a risk of abuse and addictive behavior. In recent years there has been increasing interest in this problem, especially in view of the fact that it involves an increasingly younger population. The aim of this paper is to review the current state of scientific knowledge about cell phone addiction/abuse. To this end, a search was carried out in international databases, using the descriptors "mobile phone", "cellular telephones", "addiction" and "abuse", and focusing on prevalence studies, diagnostic tests, associations with psychological variables and gender differences. There is a conceptual vagueness about the concepts of abuse and addiction in relation to mobile phones, and wide disparity in the adoption of diagnostic criteria; moreover, there are numerous instruments for the assessment of these concepts. As a result, the estimated prevalence ranges from 0-38%, depending on the scale used and the characteristics of the population studied. Surprisingly, self-attribution of cell phone addiction exceeds the prevalence estimated in the studies themselves. The personality trait most consistently associated with addiction is low self-esteem, though extraversion is associated with more intense use. Women with low self-esteem are the most vulnerable group, and the most commonly associated psychopathological symptom was depression. In short, while the evidence suggests a problem in relation to mobile phone use, the vagueness of the cell phone addiction concept and the poor quality of the studies make it difficult to generalize the results. It is necessary to define and unify criteria with a view to carrying out quality studies that permit appropriate comparisons.Key words: Mobile phone, behavioral addictions, review, new technologies, gender differences, diagnosis.El teléfono móvil es un instrumento tecnológico relativamente nuevo, versátil y accesible, muy atractivo, especialmente para jóvenes, cuyo uso conlleva riesgo de abuso y comportamiento adictivo. En los últimos años ha aumentando el interés por este problema, especialmente por la implicación de población cada vez más joven. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar el estado actual del conocimiento sobre la adicción/ abuso del móvil. Para ello, se efectuó una búsqueda en bases de datos internacionales, utilizando los descriptores "mobile phone", "cellular telephones", "addiction" y "abuse", focalizándose en estudios de prevalencia, pruebas diagnósticas, asociaciones con variables psicológicas y diferencias de género. Se observa una indefinición conceptual sobre los conceptos de abuso y adicción al móvil, gran disparidad en la adopción de criterios diagnósticos y multiplicidad de instrumentos para su estimación. Consecuentemente, la prevalencia estimada oscila entre 0-38%, en función de la escala y características de la población estudiada. La autoatribución de adicción al móvil supera la estimación que alca...

“…20 Considering the excessive use of mobile phone, some authors have developed questionnaires for the assessment of problematic mobile use, psychological consequences of mobile phone use and mobile phone addiction. [21][22][23][24][25][26] Studies which have evaluated mobile addiction, have shown that some of the participants meet the criteria of excessive use in terms of economic cost and amount of use, problems with parents due to excessive use, sociooccupational dysfunction, psychological withdrawal and tolerance. 27 Other studies suggest that majority of the mobile addicts are teenagers, who are shy and have low selfesteem.…”
