The purpose of this study is to examine the supposed effects of the duration of the mobile internet ownership in terms of years, the duration of daily mobile internet use and monthly mobile internet quota variables on the nomophobia levels of University students. The study group consists of a total of 645 students, of whom are 429 female and 216 male, who are studying in different departments and come from different age groups. The Nomophobia Scale (NMP-Q) was used to determine the effect of variables on the nomophobia of university students. One-way ANOVA, simple and multiple regression analysis technique were used in the analysis of the data. Findings of the study showed that there was no significant difference between the duration of smartphone ownership and the level of nomophobia among college students, whereas the level of nomophobia was higher among the students who check the smartphone more frequently than during the day. Furthermore, according to the results of multiple regression analysis, variables such as duration of mobile internet ownership in terms of years, duration of daily mobile internet use and GSM mobile internet quota are predictive of the nomophobia prevalence of university students. Among these three variables, it is determined that the most predictive level of nomophobia is the daily mobile internet use.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between nomophobia levels of high school students and their Internet Addiction. This study also investigates the factors including duration of smartphone and mobile Internet use that trigger and create this phenomenon. In order to explore the prevalence of nomophobia among high school students, the survey model was adopted in this study. As part of this survey, 929 high school students were randomly selected among 9th to 12th graders from Turkish high schools in different socioeconomic areas of Afyon, Ankara, and Mardin provinces. In the data collection process, a demographics questionnaire was employed, as well as a nomophobia scale and Internet addiction scale. According to the results, the nomophobia levels of high school students were found to be slightly above average. Pertaining to gender differences, female students have a higher tendency to exhibit nomophobic behaviors compared to male students. Additionally, students’ grade levels (which could also be considered as age) has no effect on the prevalence of nomophobia. Considering the duration of smartphone ownership, it was found that the longer the duration of smartphone usage, the higher the risk of exhibiting nomophobic behaviors. Finally, the results indicated that the higher the level of student Internet addiction, the more nomophobic behaviors they tend to exhibit.

Prevalence of Nomophobia among Undergraduate Students from Sagaing University of Education2021 •
This study investigated the prevalence of nomophobia among undergraduate students in Sagaing University of Education. Moreover, it also investigated the differences in the nomophobia by gender and smartphone usage behaviors such as duration of daily smartphone checking time, most frequently used application type and duration of daily social media usage. The quantitative research design and stratified random sampling method were used. The sample comprised 1000 undergraduate students distributed as 496 females and 504 males from all undergraduate classes. The nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q) by Yildirim & Correia (2015) was used. The results revealed that majority of the students in Sagaing University of Education show moderate or severe level of nomophobia. Moreover, they suffered from the highest level of anxiety for not being able to communicate with important others and access information when they cannot reach mobile phones. Furthermore, there were significant differences in nomophobia by duration of daily smartphone checking time, most frequently used smartphone application type and duration of daily social media usage but no significant differences by gender. This study may help undergraduate students realize and understand their level of anxiety when they are unable to use their mobile phones and be aware of the factors causing nomophobia. Future research may explore factors which can control the prevalence of nomophobia for better mental health of the university students.

Nomophobia and its Effects on the Psychosocial and Physical Health of University StudentsMobile technology had an effect on the lives of all people during the 21st century. Excessive cellphone use could be considered a behavioral addiction. After the emergence of the concept of technological addiction, the term nomophobia is used to refer to cellphone dependence. Excessive cellphone use has also raised concerns about its possible physical implications. The purpose of this quantitative, descriptive and correlational study was to investigate the knowledge university students have about nomophobia and the physical, emotional and social effects it can cause. A questionnaire was administered to 100 participants using the Survey Monkey© platform. The results demonstrated that 68% of participants were unaware of the term nomophobia. However, the results reflected a significant correlation between what nomophobia is and the physical and psychosocial effects in the interviewees. Nomophobia, and the areas to which it relates, is a component that needs to be further evaluated.

Nomophobia as a Social Problem- Habits of Using Mobile PhonesNomophobia is a disorder of the modern, technologically advanced and digital world. It is becoming more common nowadays with increased development of mobile devices In this paper, we can see that more than 60% of the surveyed students admitted that they are addicted to mobile phones, without even being aware of nomophobia itself. The impact of nomophobia is manifold, from the physical and psycho-emotional burden borne by the patient himself to the collective burden, whose influence changes the form of social interactions. The paper will say moreabout nomophobia itself, the advantages and disadvantages of using the technology itself, the impact on children and society, and the analysis of survey results from students.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of nomophobia (the fear of being out of mobile phone contact) among young adults in Turkey. The Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) was administered to 537 Turkish college students. The results revealed 42.6% of young adults had nomophobia, and their greatest fears were related to communication and information access. The study also found that gender and the duration of smartphone ownership had an effect on young adults’ nomophobic behaviors, whereas age and the duration of mobile phone ownership had no effect.

A study on nomophobia: Behavioural patterns in smartphone use among students of London in the age of pandemic
'A study on nomophobia: Behavioural patterns in smartphone use among students of London in the age of pandemic' S. Pietraszkiewicz2021 •
Uncontrolled use of mobile technology can result in development of technological addiction, leading to behavioural patterns of nomophobia. Nomophobia – ‘a fear of being without of mobile phone contact’ (Royal Mail Group, 2008) – is still an unexplored subject. The relationship between mobile phone consumption, student’s well-being and academic performance could be identified as “complicated”. This study explores the potential pandemicrelated influence on mobile phone dependency among students. Additionally, it seeks to understand the role of mobile phone in online educational environments. This research contributes to the existing academic literature by analysing mobile phone use for learning and non-learning purposes among students of London during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
