“…In addition, there is a significant relationship between the increase in adult's life satisfaction scores and nomophobia scores. In similar studies in the literature, it can be seen that loneliness (Gezgin, Hamutoglu, Sezen-Gultekin & Ayas, 2018;Ozdemir, Cakir & Hussain, 2018); depression (Darvishi et al, 2019), self-happiness (Ozdemir, Cakir & Hussain, 2018) and nomophobia have significant relationships. This shows that life satisfaction variable is a common variable affecting nomophobia both in adults and adolescents.…”

This study focused on the effects of variables related to nomophobia levels of youths for adults; and exhibited a nomophobia profile of an adult by means of the significant variables about adults. Two hundred-ten adults from 30 different occupational groups participated in the research. The relational research design was used in the research. Data after collecting through scales were subjected to logistic regression analysis and two-step clustering analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that while the nomophobia scores of the participated adults who were married, had children, were 30 years and older, have higher life satisfaction scores and lower social media addiction scores were low. On the other hand, it was determined that the adult in high nomophobia scores were clustered in the group who were single and did not have children, were between the ages of 24-29, had low life satisfaction scores and high social media addiction.

“…Finally, though this study found that significant relationships exist between number of credits, hours of usage per day, and number of times per day checking phone and NMP-Q scores, only hours of usage per day significantly predicted nomophobia. Previous research has uncovered similar results [9,29], suggesting that, similar to other behavioral addictions, the amount of time spent on the addiction leads to increased anxiety during abstinence [2,3,18]. This suggests the importance of educating students about managing the amount of time they spend on their smartphones and has policy implications at the university level; however, it should be noted that these policies should not be draconian in nature, such as the complete ban in 2014 on teachers having cell phones in schools [39].…”

“…Unfortunately, though there has been a statistically significant increase in Smartphone usage in the emerging nation of Pakistan, there is a dearth of research examining the levels of nomophobia in this population. Nomophobia is associated with lower academic performance and achievement [10,11,12,13], difficulties in attentional regulation [14], greater levels of depression [15], anxiety [13,16,17], sleep problems [17], loneliness [4,16,18] and lower levels of happiness [4,19,20]. Research has also demonstrated that adolescents exhibit greater mental health problems on days when they used their technological devices less frequently [21].…”

Increasing rates of smartphone use in Pakistani undergraduate students, coupled with a dearth of research, indicate a need for a better understanding of the effects of Smartphone use on this population. This cross-sectional study therefore aimed to measure rates of nomophobia and its predictors among this understudied population. A total of 138 undergraduate students of a private university in Lahore, Pakistan completed a demographics questionnaire and the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) as part of a larger study. All students reported some level of nomophobia, with the largest proportion reporting moderate levels. Gender differences were seen in NMP-Q scores, with women reporting greater levels of nomophobia, specifically within the "Not being able to communicate" subscale of the NMP-Q. Multiple linear regression indicated that, while hours of usage per day, number of times per day checking phone, and amount of time in university were all correlated with NMP-Q scores, however, the only significant predictor was hours of usage per day [R ¼ .331, R 2 ¼ .109, F (3, 116) ¼ 4.748, p < .05]. The results of this study indicate that, as use of smartphones continues to increase in this developing nation, monitoring nomophobia and its correlates is of great importance, and carries with it implications at the societal and university policy levels.

“…And also a negative correlation found with the overall grade of the first semester of the 2016/2017 school year and the 3 dimensions of Nomophobia which means that students with good academic performance are not too attached to their smartphone and the social media. Another study showed that 39.5% of students perceived their academic performance to be poorer due to spending of more time on phone and the association was statistically significant (p< .05) (Prasad, et al, 2017), the results of Gezgin, et al (2018), adolescents were at a moderate level. A study conducted by Dixit S et al, in 2010 revealed that 18.5% of students were Nomophobic as well as the highest number of students being Nomophobic were from 3rd professional part-I (7%) and the least number of students were from internship (1%).…”

Social networks are a new form of addiction to technology and are beginning to take place in the moroccan society in the last decades, especially among children and adolescents. Furthermore the Nomophobia is a new form of addiction to new generations of mobile phones. Because of the importance of their speed spread and their influence on the person's future and interpersonal relationships, we conducted a study to calculate the degree of Nomophobia in adolescent population. It is through the establishment of a questionnaire for a sample of 541 adolescents including 298 girls and 243 boys of young Moroccans and a test on Nomophobia NMP-Q. The statistical result stated that 69.1% of girls and 63% of boys have Nomophobia in a moderate and severe state, and that the Smartphone is more solicited than the laptop with a negative correlation between school performance and the score of Nomophobia. Thus, poor school performance and mental disorders in adolescents can be explained by taking Nomophobia.
