“…Furthermore, smartphone separation anxiety may depend on the type of mobile activity disrupted. Sui [59] further asserted that most of the research on NMP de-contextualizes the sources of NMP rather than focusing on communication and how it occurs. The author emphasized social and environmental factors that necessitate mobile phone use in contemporary society.…”

Introduction and Objective. Nomophobia (NMP) is a present-age phobia of loss of use of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly smartphones. Materials and method. The study adopted a two-phase, exploratory consequential mixed methods design. The first phase was a quantitative exploration of the degree of NMP. The second mapped the potential area of risks in using modern ICT. Three working hypotheses were established to compare the opinions of secondary school students, their behaviour and degree of NMP. A 20-item anonymous questionnaire was administered to 373 boys and girls aged 14-15 in 11 randomlyselected secondary schools in the Czech Republic. Results. The results prove that 0.5% of the subjects did not exhibit symptoms of NMP, a very mild form of NMP was detected in 71% of respondents, a mild form of NMP was detected in 18.7% of the respondents, a moderate form of NMP was detected in 7.8% of respondents, and a severe form of NMP was detected in 2% of respondents. Almost three-quarters of the students were not directly at risk of dependence on a mobile phone, but a 10th of the sample exhibited a set of symptoms of behavioural addiction. On average, respondents used 4 applications, communication programmes, social networks, and music players. Girls reported a higher dependence on mobile phones in comparison to boys. Conclusions. Further investigations should directly ascertain which integrands predict NMP, identifying risk groups, and developing preventive strategies (social and environmental factors) to better understand the underlying cause of NMP.

“…Kwestionowanie czy też podawanie w wątpliwość istnienia danego zjawiska, tak jak ma to miejsce w artykule Anny Sui i Wuyou Sui (2021), jest ważnym głosem w dyskusji, który powinien być przyczynkiem do kolejnych badań i coraz bardziej pogłębionych analiz tych zjawisk.…”

There is no doubt that new technologies are the hallmark of modern times. For young people, the digital world is a natural environment for their functioning in everyday life. Smartphones and social media accompany them almost everywhere. Many of them, following their idols, not only like and comment on what others do, but also create their own image online. This often leads them to lose themselves in what they are doing, and when, for some reason, there is no access to a device or SNS, it results in their anxiety and stress. The ongoing pandemic has, in a way, “forced” many of us to have more contact with new technologies. Sitting in front of a computer/smartphone for hours, while studying/working remotely is not without its consequences on physical as well as mental health. There are two increasingly common fears, among the results of the excessive use of smartphones and e.g. social media (mainly used by young people), related to the use of new technologies: nomophobia and FoMO. The former is a kind of separation anxiety related to not having access to a mobile phone. The second one is characterised by people who use social media without restraint, when they cannot check what is happening on their favourite platforms. The aim of this article is to present the characteristics of both phenomena, the means of diagnosis and the results of national and international research showing their scale.

“…Namun, disisi lain digital native juga tidak bisa diartikan sebagai keseluruhan generasi yang bisa memanfaatkan teknologi digital secara positif dengan pola yang komprehensif, adanya indikasi negatif dari perilaku generasi digital native, yang berhubungan dengan digital seperti nomophobia (Sui & Sui, 2021), sosial media addict (Praktikto & Kristanty, 2018), smartphone addict (Liu, Huang, & Zhou, 2020), fomo (fear of missing out) (Kostic, Pedovic, & Stosic, 2022), self isolation, sampai kepada kurang berinisifatif untuk setiap interaksi langsung yang dialaminya, beberapa fenomena terjadi, dalam satu kelas dengan subjek sebanyak 22 orang, dari 22 orang, rata rata hanya 2-4 orang yang memiliki insiatif untuk menjawab pertanyaan yang relevan dengan materi pembelajaran, atau disaat pengajar memberikan sebuah stimulus seperti pertanyaan, 2-4 orang yang berani langsung untuk memberikan argumentasi dan ide, ketika ditanyakan kenapa tidak ingin memberikan argumentasi, jawaban yang diberikan berupa, tidak percaya diri, takut salah, dan merasa jawaban yang diberikan tidak berbobot, dan bahkan ada yang terlihat tidak peduli sama sekali untuk berkontribusi dalam pembelajaran yang dilakukan, Teknologi memberikan manfaat serta resiko dampak negatif jika kurangnya kontrol dalam interaksi antar pengguna teknologi dan teknologi itu sendiri (Marpaung, 2018), tidak dipungkiri perilaku yang terus menerus dilakukan selama pandemi, menimbulkan kebiasaan yang tertanam pada manusia, hal ini terlihat pada penggunaan smartphone secara online, dan sosial media.…”
